Does the SIP server perform NAT traversal?

Does the SIP proxy perform NAT traversal?

How does the SIP server route the INVITE requests? Does it route based 
on registered Contact or does it route them statically to the SIP proxy? 
Depending on the routing behavior on the SIP server you can build a 
workaround on the proxy.
