What I am talking about here is the case where the signaling protocol (e.g.
SIP) carries the endpoint media addresses for a media session (e.g. in SDP).
A SIP INVITE coming from the external network will hve SDP that contains the
address of the external endpoint. The internal endpoint media addresses
won't be know until the 200 OK response comes from the internal endpoint.
