In all of section 8, the only reason I find of why things are changed is

"For media steering purposes, B2BUAs in intermediate domains need to modify the IP address c-lines and the port in m-lines." Even this one line leaves me confused about what intermediate domains are in the deployment cases where this happens and if we are talking about email style address or e.164 style addresses. What an example is of a deployment where things like this happen and why the middle (not the end domains) do the media steering. When I ask this of example people give me, if often turns out what is really wanted is not media steering but the middle to be able to hide the fact that they actually delivered the call to a third provider for PSTN termination.


I'll agree that topology hiding is a use case for port/address obfuscation that results in RFC 4474 not working, thereby preventing DTLS/SRTP key fingerprinting when topology-hiding occurs.

Design alternatives include tunnels and STUN relays combined with header obfuscation and UA support for selective obfuscation for the offer. While these sorts of triggerworks might work, they're a lot more complex than just editing the SDP.
