[OpenSER-Users] TCP better than UDP??

I encountered few problems using Nokia's UDP implementation when there are
NATs around so I would recommend you to use TCP. Maybe recent versions have
solved this issue but you can find older implementations on the field...
Regarding reliability and batery life I would say TCP is more reliable by
itself and you will avoid UDP's retransmissions which can safe some batery
if the server does not respond fast or there's a problem in the link.

hope it helps,
sam
