TCP is a connection oriented protocol ..as others mentioned, it superiority comes because it knows when packets are dropped to resend them. It also has mechanisms for flow control etc.. SIP is a connection-less protocol. It uses 'best effort' transmissions..if u want its delivery guaranteed you must encapsulate it.
