A/V Edge
The A/V Edge role is responsible for providing audio and video media exchanges among internal, external, and federated contacts. The A/V Edge role uses the Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE), Simple Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN), and Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN) methods to enable endpoints to communicate even if behind a NAT device.
When possible, endpoints attempt to use a peer-to-peer connection for media streams, but when an endpoint is behind a NAT device such as a home router, the A/V Edge role can act as a relay point between the endpoints to facilitate communication. The A/V Edge service uses a combination of HTTPS port 443 and UDP port 3478 to negotiate and provide the media stream.
