Which header are you concerned with?  In the Via, it needs to be left as is
because the entity that added it is listening on that transport.  In the
Record Route it should also be left as is, but a proxy can modify it in
responses for a RR it added in a corresponding request.

 For the IPSec tunnel, I suppose it would depend on if the SIP application
was decrypting the tunnel, or if the tunnel was decrypted before the SIP app
saw the message.  In the latter case, the application is listening for the
transport in the tunnel.  Let the list know if you run into any problems
with different transports, I haven't heard of many implementations using
anything other than UDP.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] Transport parameter


Hi all,

I have a couple of questions regarding the transport parameter.

Firstly, should the transport parameter be set on a hop-by-hop basis or
should it be left unchanged from that sent by the UA, draft bis-04 does
not seem very clear on this. Also, where an IPSec tunnel is used, should
the transport parameter be set to 'tls' or should it be set to indicate
the transport being used in the tunnel e.g. udp, tcp.

Many thanks
