Hi, I'm realizing that "received" and "rport" are completely useless in SIP 
TCP:

- The client MUST reply using the existing conecction that creates the 
incoming request. So for now "received" and "rport" are not used at all.

- If the connection fails during the reply then the UAS/proxy must perform 
steps in RFC3263 as failover, and those steps mean sending the response 
to "sent-by". So again "received" and "rport" is not used.

- Also take in mind that when a UAC establishes a TCP connection with UAS it 
uses an arbitrary source port so if the connection fails the UAS cannot open 
a new connection to that original source port (except using "alias" extension 
that it's not relevant now).

So, the conclusion is: "received" and "rport" parameters are completely 
useless in SIP TCP, is it?

Thanks for any comment.
