> a new module is now on development branch, named
msrp, offering an embedded
> MSRP relay. Message Session Relay Protocol is
specified by IETF ( core and
> relay part in RFC4975 and RFC4976), one of typical
use cases is Instant
> Messaging sessions negotiated via INVITE-200ok-ACK,
a different approach
> than SIP MESSAGE request.

> There is no external dependency, the transport
layer from core is reused to
> manage TCP/TLS connections used for MSRP. A MSRP
relay is pretty much an
> independent node, thus you can run Kamailio just to
deal with MSRP traffic.
> But there is no problem to run Kamailio to handle
SIP and MSRP traffic in
> the same instance, same or different sockets (it is
working even when
> SIP/MSRP are sent over the same connection or
different connections to same
> port).
>
> I couldn't find a reliable and trustable open
source SIP phone to test with

tested with network tools and
> chaining Kamailio instances. Help with testing and
feedback is very
> appreciated -- I can provide guidelines to adjust
the config file to fit
> tester's needs, just contact me off list or via IRC
channel.

Another benefit is

IP/port saves some time to

first for the benefit of

IPv4/IPv6 and TCP/TLS, which

communication. Besides that, you

available for routing

accounting, a.s.o.).
