Hi all, Below I assume using tcp transport for registrations.
As I understand, while using a reliable transport for dialogs the connection between UAC and the next hop is active until the dialog is terminated by one party sending BYE and another party responding back. The connections on both sides are then closed. I am looking at the REGISTER method, and I see that it does not establish a dialog [RFC3261: 10.2 Constructing the REGISTER Request]. So as I understand, the UAC registers itself(sends a REGISTER request) with the location service, and closes the connection. And then opens a connection every now and then to update the registration so it would not expire. Say the UAC is behind the NAT. And after sending a REGISTER request through my proxy, I want this connection to stay open, so that others could reach this UAC through the proxy. Please correct me if my understanding of a dialog is wrong. That the dialog enforces the connections to stay open. Where REGISTER, is a set of transactions that do not require connection to stay active.
