Ok, so now that it's possible to implement SIP over TCP instead of UDP
why would I want to do this? Beyond simply integration with M$ OCS.

And what are the implications for management of QoS? I would expect
that lost packets would be less of a factor.

Thanks,

Michael

Michael,

The main advantages for SIP over TCP that I know of (in no particular order):

- Better compatibility with NAT devices (it seems some of them don't
do UDP well)
- Support for TLS
- Support for packet fragmentation (to support large/diverse SDPs, headers, etc)

I'm sure there are other ones but that's all I can think of this
early on a Sunday morning...

Hi,

But you can only route SIP signalization over TCP. Audio stream must still go thru UDP, right?

BR, Alex

No, TCP for media as well. I though that was the whole point of SIP
over TCP.

That's excellent! So in theory one could not make Asterisk compatible SIP softphone in Flash (since Flash only supports TCP). Nice...

BR, Alex

whom.

Hopefully not. RTP over TCP would be entirely pointless. RTP needs
packetization, doesn't mind packet loss (within reason) but hates
retransmissions. TCP doesn't provide packetization, guarantees against
packet loss, but retransmits.
