Sergio,

Outbound expects that rport is used in the via header for routing of
responses (for UDP that is) see the note in section 4.3. Responses are
routed as defined in 3261 for TCP.

Subject: [Sip] outbound08 - Handling Responses in Edge proxy / Via
vs.Flowtoken



Hi,


  I have a question related to handling Responses that are going to be
sent over a flow in an Edge proxy.

  In "5.3.  Forwarding Requests (outbound08)" I read that a Request is
forwarded to a flow using the information retrieved from the flow token
(and that it is found in the Route-header).

  Now I am considering how is the case for Responses.

  Should we consider the same behavior? i.e. forward a Response over a
flow using the flowtoken found in the Path-header?

  In 'non-outbound SIP', as far as I understand, Route Header forces the
routing in Requests, and Via-header forces routing in Responses.

  So... should we avoid any consideration to the information stored in
the topmost Via-header when proxying a Response? (And instead use the
information in the flowtoken ?)

  I think that the answers is yes, since the Via could contain a private
address in the case of a NAT in the middle. Then, shouldn't be mentioned
the response case in the draft?


Regards,


Sergio
