Pekka, Thank you. This was a source of some confusion as we began testing in more varying network configurations.
One more follow-on question: Should outbound invites contain a Request-URI and From-Header of the form: "sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?

Basically, outbound proxy serves outbound calls, the inbound calls are handled by proxy, that gets your current contact from location service, which is updated by registrar. Your UA talks directly to registrar and outbound proxy only. Usually the registrar/location service/proxy is co-located, they run on a single server and they usually are a single piece of software, too. (Location service can use external DB.) -- Pekka.Pessi mail at nokia.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Sofia-sip-devel mailing list Sofia-sip-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sofia-sip-devel
