yes, that is very possible (and already supported). Consider the case when  
media does not terminate on the same network element as the signaling and 
signaling can take many hops while media could be simply point to point. Those 
in-between signaling hops (proxies or B2BUAs) may be IPv4-only.

Subject: Re: [Sip-implementors] Is it valid/legal to IPv4 control channel and 
IPv6 data channel?

Hi Michael,

SIP is signalling, and SDP describes the media session. These are two
separate channels. I can't see SIP being done through IPv4 and media
session over IPv6 to be a problem. This is theory. But can anybody comment
from their experience?


Regards,

Brez
