That should be fine. Possibly related to NAT without the helper,
see below.

It takes the addresses from the SDP payload. The gateway seems to be
handling RTP stream with a different server as well.

Sorry, my mistake :) That should be fine.

So you are using NAT? You *need* the NAT helper in that case for
remapping clashing ports.
