When the user wants to use Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service through the private IP terminal on the IP network, the private IP terminal or the PC generates a call connection request message according to the telephone number information input by the user. To the IP network.

The network address translator changes the source IP address from the private IP address to the corresponding public IP address in the call connection request message transmitted from the private IP terminal, and the switching system receives the destination IP of the call connection request message transmitted from the network address translator. It finds the address, sends the call connection request message to the corresponding IP terminal, and when the public IP terminal responds to the call connection request message, the call is connected between the private IP terminal and the public IP terminal, and the VoIP IP Voice call or video call is made according to Voice over Internet Protocol.

This method can only be used if there is only one private IP terminal or PC connected to the private network, i.e., if there are multiple private IP terminals or PCs connected to the private network, the network address translator can be used from each private IP terminal or PC. The source IP address of the outgoing message will be converted to the same public IP address. Therefore, since the destination IP address of a packet transmitted from the public IP terminal is a public IP address converted by the network address translator, the packet cannot be transmitted to a specific private IP terminal or a PC. VoIP will not be provided.

At this time, if there are multiple private IP terminals or PCs using the called party's public IP address, the network address translator cannot identify a specific private IP terminal or PC to receive the call connection request message sent from the public IP terminal. Could not convert to IP address.

Therefore, if a plurality of private IP terminals are connected to a private network having one public IP address, the public IP terminal cannot transmit a call connection request message to the incoming private IP terminal and thus, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). You do not receive services.
