Hi Srini,

It is also present in the Contact, Via and Request-Line and as I
understand it, these are necessary requirements (well, if future
communication is to be over TCP) but that's not the question.

The question is, is it valid to have transport=tcp as a URI parameter in
the To and From headers? Calls are being rejected on this basis. I can't
find anything forbidding it although I will concede that it is rather
unnecessary.

Cheers

Steve

        Isn't the "Contact" header more appropriate for Uas to indicate
the transport preference?  Contact headers turn into request-URIs on the
way back and the proxies and UAs route on request-URIs/Route headers,
right?. We would obviously use the Via headers to indicate TCP properly
(SIP/2.0/TCP) in the forward direction - guess there is no question
there.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] Transport=tcp interop problem

Hi all,

When using TCP, we place 'transport=tcp' in both the To and From headers
and it is claimed that the presence of this in the From header is
invalid (interestingly the To header is not causing any grief). It seems
to me that the From and To headers contain URIs and transport=tcp is a
valid URI parameter so there should be no problem.

Can anyone clear this up as I can't find anything definitive in 3261?
Reference to the RFCs would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Steve
