Title : Reusing Transport Layer Connections in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

The current Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) specification dictates
that a transport layer connection can carry SIP requests in only one
direction i.e. from the client to the server. This presents
scalability problems as twice the number of connections are needed
for each pair of SIP entities that communicate with each other. The
internet-draft [I-D.ietf-sip-connect-reuse] specifies a mechanism for
reusing SIP over TLS connections. However, that document is
predicated on secure TLS mutual authentication and specifically
refrains connection reuse for transports such as SIP over TCP and
SCTP. There are many situations, such as in Trust Domains [RFC3324],
where TLS mutual authentication may not be required but where
connection reuse is beneficial. This document specifies connection
reuse for SIP over connection-oriented transports such as TCP and
SCTP. It specifies the same mechanism for connection reuse as
specified in [I-D.ietf-sip-connect-reuse], however, the solution is
presented in the context of Trust Domains.
