Are you sure about it ? What do you mean by that ?? Does Skype send the **Audio** in ***TCP*** port 80 ?! Can TCP do the job for VOIP audio application across the internet? As far as I know, all traditional VOIP which run across the Intenet use UDP for audio (and most of the use SIP). TCP is much heavier, sincr it is stream-based; it has retransmission, congesion control, many timers and is very complex. When using TCP, you are most likely to encounter delays and a bad quality. I know that there were trials to use TCP in VOIP applications with certain adjustements, but they did not succeed.
