Hi Michael, In general, for mobile devices, WireGuard is much more battery friendly since no keepalive packets are required ... a mobile Wireguard client can establish a tunnel to a server... sleep-disconnect-wake while the server endpoint maintains the crypto-route state ... updates the Mobile IP if it roams when a packet is sent over the tunnel. The connection is initiated by the mobile client.
But Bria's SIP is a chatty protocol with register and notify packets, usually needed to keep firewall states open. But when running over WireGuard, SIP does not see any NAT or worry about firewall states. Bottom line, if you can back off the SIP registers to 15 minutes and disable notify (qualify) you should be able to lower battery consumption from the defaults. This would take some testing to confirm. In fairness, one minor negative is iOS (macOS and Android) WireGuard app is implemented using the Go programming language which in it's binary target form is probably about 1/2 (?) the speed of native compiled code, but since SIP is not a lot of traffic this inefficiency should not matter too much. Michael, you have all the tools to test this yourself, install AstLinux 1.3.4 somewhere and then upgrade it with astlinux-1.3-4073-68d8d5 ... install the iOS WireGuard app and test away. You could create a WireGuard test server for iOS clients on Vultr in probably 10 minutes.
