Christer,

In what you describe below, you are assuming that in order to use your
super-fast-broadband access for video, you would also have to do your
related SIP transactions over the same interface. In general this is not
true, as you could as well run SIP over your jungle-drum interface while
putting the broadband interface addresses in your SDP. 

But I suppose we are talking about networks where some B2BUAs will get
confused if you try the media from a different IP address from where you
do SIP (although if you have something like a carrier grade NAT between
the UA and the B2BUA there is no guarantee that SIP and RTP would come
from the same IP). Perhaps it would be good enough to use two different
instance id's?
