Why media traffic going to 192.168.5.17 ?

is not correct. I believe it should be
[code]nat=force_rport,comedia[/code]

is 192.168.5.17 the ip address of your asterisk server?
if yes, then use
[code]directmedia=yes[/code]
in your extensions

nat=yes is deprecated (possibly because it was being overused).

There was an issue on the issue tracker, recently, about the preferred replacement not behaving exactly the same.

Asterisk version 10 has not been supported, except for security fixes, since December.

For Asterisk 10, “nat=yes” is correctly and not deprecated for this version. Also Asterisk 10 does not support multiple options for NAT (as example nat=force_rport,comedia), only one.

My server address is 88.80.1.50
Client address is 95.138.160.45 (local is 192.168.5.17)
