Summary: tcp_send() routine tries to connect to UA

Initial Comment:
int tcp_send(struct socket_info* send_sock, int type, char* buf, unsigned len, union sockaddr_union* to, int id) (tcp_main.c:680) tries to restore TCP connection with UA site if there are no valid and actual connections in USRLOC. Is good behavior?
This operation is senseless especially in the case of an UA working behind a NAT. Furthermore this operation blocks openser service for a while and eventually causes it to be unavailable.

Hi Victor!

Funny - at the same time of your report we dicussed this topic on the
openser programming course.

Yes - there should be an option to avoid TCP connection establishment to
clients behind NAT. Some ideas were to:
- no TCP connection establishment attempt if nat flag is set
- no TCP connection establishment attempt after lookup()
- no TCP connection establishment attempt if a certain flag is set

For in-dilalog it is not that easy to distinguish between destination to
which a connection establishment should be done (gateway, proxy) and to
others (user agents)
