2)Compressing the SIP message (using gzip). The idea is to take the SDP body 
and several headers that are not used in the routing logic, compress them, 
apply a base64 transformation and add to the message's body. A use case for 
this is a platform that has several edge servers (SBCs) and a few core 
instances - when entering the platform the message compression should be 
applied and then sent to the core servers. Inside the core networks, the 
messages should be carried in the compressed format to reduce the bandwidth. 
When leaving the network, the message has to be decompressed and forwarded to 
the next gateway without any compression, since the other equipments might not 
understand them.
There will be several functions exported in the script:

    a) compress_msg("1","Header1|Header2"); compresses the body of the message 
and listed headers
    b) decompress_msg(); decompress both headers and body

What do you think about this approach? Is this something you find useful? Since 
we don't have a final decision for this topic, we are looking for more input 
from you guys.Anybody is welcome to throw any kind of useful feedback on this 
matter, so don't be shy!


IIRC this is not standard, and Apple uses it somewhere on their FaceTime 
implementation. Kamailio has it and someone was working on a patch for PJSIP, 
but other than that I’m not sure how useful it is, servers could use TCP 
between them.
It is not indeed, but the main idea is to first help you with better handling traffic inside your network (which may be up to 3 or 4 OpenSIPS boxes when you have a distributed platform) ; handling means bandwidth and processing as parsing SIP messages - like headers (maybe 20) or body you do not care about and you just want to carry through without a need to parse and look.

And maybe in the future it will be some progress into standardization....for now I see the real need for it (at least for me:) ).

Bogdan
