The papers talk about transport protocol for signaling, not media/RTP.
I didn't hear of anyone who does RTP over TCP neither. I doubt even that
the performance is a primary reason behind that, for media over TCP the
client link must be virtually packet-loss free (due to TCP
retransmissions), while over UDP sometimes up to 5% packet loss can be
tolerated. TCP was not designed as transport for real-time media :-)

Hello.
SIP over TCP would reduce server performance significantly when compared
with SIP Over UDP.
Please read the following two papers. Combining RTP proxy with SIP over
TCP would degrade SIP server performance even worse.

http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/papers/Shen1008_TLS.pdf
The Impact of TLS on SIP Server Performance
"Securing SIP is accomplished by using TLS instead of UDP as the
transport protocol. We show that using TLS can reduce performance by up
to a factor of 17 compared to the typical case of SIP-over-UDP."
"Network operators considering deploying SIP over TLS will need to
consider the extra resources required to provide the same service
quality as would be the case with UDP."

Evaluating SIP Proxy Server Performance
"The next most signi cant performance feature is which transport
protocol is used, TCP or UDP. Using TCP can reduce performance anywhere
from 43 percent (the stateful proxying scenario with authentication) to
65 percent (state-less proxying without authentication).

Now I am using Kamailio 3.1.5 and RTP proxy 1.1.
Looks both are compatible and working fine.
The RTP Proxy basically sends/receives RTP packets over UDP.
Is there any RTP Proxy available that does send/receive of RTP packets
over TCP and also should be compatible with Kamailio 3.1.5.
If you have any information in this regard, kindly share.
RTP itself is specified
over UDP, also I am not aware of any SIP phone
doing RTP over TCP.
MSRP is a mechanism specified for sending message streams over TCP, we
have a module for that, but I guess is not exactly what you are
