In many enterprise environments, this would be a feature not a bug.
There are some webcams that are definitely inappropriate in a business
setup; given the lack of good enterprise content filtering solutions for
IM, if NAT does break IM webcams I don't have a problem with it.
That's backwards. "That kind" of webcam is often *not* behind a NAT at the
source end, so can be contacted.
What breaks is that *your* user can't have a videoconferencing solution that
your business partners can contact.
If your user is running "that kind" of webcam from their office, you have
bigger management issues than a NAT. :)
For voice there's always
that thing called the telephone that has the advantage to work all the
time with anybody and can be logged.
Ever notice that this works a *lot* better when each user has their own phone
number, rather than one number that rings at the receptionist's desk and may or
may not get transferred to the actual person?
There's a lesson there.
