Hi, all

In Internet-Draft, SCTP as a Transport for SIP,
draft-ietf-sip-sctp-06.txt, there is a paragraph,
   "SIP transactions need to be mapped into SCTP streams in a way that
   avoids Head Of the Line (HOL) blocking.  Among all the different ways
   of performing this mapping that fulfil this requirement, we have
   chosen the simplest one; a SIP entity SHOULD send every SIP message
   (request or response) over stream zero with the unordered flag set.
   On the receiving side, a SIP entity MUST be ready to receive SIP
   messages over any stream."

Does anyone know why the draft requires "a SIP entity SHOULD send every
SIP message  (request or response) over stream zero with the unordered
flag set."? My understanding is we should set one SIP call into one SCTP
stream. If the number of SIP calls is more than the number of streams in
the SCTP, multiple calls can be in one stream with unorded flag set. So
I don't understand why there is such a requirement in the draft.
Waiting for your reply.

Regards
Leslie ( Wang Qi )
