Figure 661 Call redirection procedure for UAs
This is a common application. Fundamentally, a redirect server can respond with the address of a
proxy server as well. The subsequent call procedures are the same as the call procedures involving
proxy servers.
Support for transport layer protocols
As an application layer protocol, SIP supports three transport layer protocols, including:
• UDP—UDP is a connectionless protocol and does not provide reliability. Therefore, SIP
connections established over UDP are unreliable.
• TCP—Ensures transmission reliability for SIP messages. TCP provides connection-oriented
and reliable transmission for SIP-based VoIP communications. Using TCP, SIP need not
consider packet loss and retransmission issues.
• Transport layer security (TLS)—Ensures transmission security for SIP messages. For more
information, see "Signaling encryption."
The ab
ove three tran
sport layer protocols have their own benefits, and allow you to select a protocol
based on your network environment. The system does not support transport layer protocol
switchover during communication.

combinations.
