So in conclusion we are speaking about an IP based load balancer, and not about a SIP load balancer. Also we are playing with IP level exotic technics (various hosts sharing the same IP). So the above scenario would be valid for any UDP protocol, not just SIP.
The load balancer does need to be aware of SIP.
I don't thinkt that's accurate. For many load-distribution schemes it needs to parse SIP to make the right routing decision.
For this to work, it needs to send all requests for a transaction to the same proxy. If the proxies are session-aware, it even needs to send all requests for a dialog to the same proxy.
I think there is some wording confusion here? What you are describing is SIP awaraness. (otherwise you can't really send the same dialog messages to the same proxy)
Sure. You might want to right my above statement again. It says "does need", not "does not". ;)
oh gee, I that I was good in fast scanning :-) Thanks for the notice, we are in perfect agreement and sorry for the fuss.
