Imagine the TCP case:
- UAC sends a INVITE from IP_A:PORT_55555 with "Via: hostname_A".
- After receiving the INVITE that connection hangs up because a network 
failure.
- UAS try to reply but since the connection was down it MAY try to send the 
reply to any address that "hostname_A" resolvs (SRV, NATPR...).
