Figure 39 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 the following transport layer protocols:
• 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."
These transport layer protocols have their own benefits, enabling you to select a protocol based on your
network environment. The system does not support transport layer protocol switchover during
communication.

Signaling encryption
TLS runs over TCP and provides a complete set of authentication and encryption solutions for application
layer protocols. When establishing a TLS connection, both sides need to authenticate each other by
