[SR-Users] SIP outbound

Hi! IIRC we recently had a discussion about SIP outbound [1] and the benefits of an implementation in Kamailio. Just playing around with a SIP client on an iphone I discovered a usecase. Whenever the iphone gets a new IP address (quite often as it often changes between WiFi and 3G) the client reREGISTERs with the new IP address (establishing a new TCP connection). This leads to lots of "broken" registrations and TCP connections [2]. By use of SIP outbound and re-registration using the same "reg-id" the proxy would be able to replace the old registration with the new registration. Further, if Kamailio would have a mapping from registrations to TCP connections it could also close the dead TCP connections. regards Klaus [1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5626 [2] I do not know if TCP keepalives (socket option) could detect broken TCP connections without making too much noise on the receiver side (activating the background application and draining battery)
