Abstract Abstract A great number of IP addresses are undoubtedly needed when VoIP-based soft switch, one of the core technologies of NGN, is put into practical use. In order to economize the limited address resources allowed by IPV4, especially the public address resources before the extensive use of IPV6, it is a realistic choice to employ private IP addresses in soft-switching network. There are a lot of network address translation (NAT) and firewall equipment in the current IP network. For example, in MAN(Metropolitan Area Network), the NAT/Firewall technology is usually used in the portals of enterprise network, community network and MAN. In order to ensure that VoIP can be widely applied to those networks, a solution to the traversal of VoIP on NAT/Firewall equipment has to be found. As regards NGN, planning IP addresses unscientifically may seriously affect the increase of subscribers, the interconnecting between systems and the opening of new services. And for telecom carriers, both address economization and signaling interconnecting should be taken into consideration in the network with security and stability. This paper firstly makes an introduction to the current domestic and oversea researches on and solutions to the problem and the current focus of research and the outlook on its future. Introduction is given to the systematic structure and the basic functions of soft switch as well. Secondly, starting with the planning of IP address, this paper analyzes the problems in the traversal of signaling and me
