Title : Connection Reuse in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Author(s) : R. Mahy, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-sip-connect-reuse-11.txt
Pages : 20

This document enables a pair of communicating proxies to reuse a
congestion-controlled connection between themselves for sending
requests in the forward and backwards direction. Because the
connection is essentially aliased for requests going in the backwards
direction, reuse is predicated upon both the communicating endpoints
authenticating themselves using X.509 certificates through TLS. For
this reason, we only consider connection reuse for TLS over TCP and
TLS over SCTP. A single connection should not be reused for the TCP
or SCTP transport between two peers, and this document provides
insight into why this is the case. As a remedy, it suggests using
two TCP connections (or two SCTP associations), each opened pro-
actively towards the recipient by the sender. Finally, this document
also provides guidelines on connection reuse and virtual SIP servers
and the interaction of connection reuse and DNS SRV lookups in SIP.
