The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) operates over UDP and TCP. When used
with UDP, responses to requests are returned to the source address from which the
request came, and returned to the port written into the topmost “Via” header of the
request. However, this behavior is not desirable when the client is behind a
Network Address Translation (NAT) or firewall.
