[SR-Users] BYE and TCP

Hello

I got an answer from the VOIP provider.

They claim that we have an error in our port forwarding. Because we 
advertise 5071, but traffic comes from another port.

As I understand, it is however impossible for TCP to send all traffic 
from just one port.

How is TCP SIP actually supposed to handle a BYE, when the client is 
behind NAT.
