RFC 3261 doesn't really discuss when to reclaim tcp connections. It also doesn't provide much guidance concerning their reuse. Thus a device can basically act however it wants. However there are NAT traversal, capacity, and call setup delay reasons to allow a tcp connection to remain open until it needs to be reclaimed. Aspects are discussed within draft-ietf-sip-connect-reuse and draft-ietf-sip-outbound. _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
