[asterisk-users] SIP/TCP?

[James R. Stevens]

TCP is a connection oriented protocol ..as others mentioned, it superiority comes because it knows when packets are dropped to resend them. It also has mechanisms for flow control etc.. SIP is a connection-less protocol. It uses 'best effort' transmissions..if u want its delivery guaranteed you must encapsulate it.

I'm still learning some of the basics.  Can someone explain in layman's 
terms what's the difficulty for Asterisk to support SIP/TCP (and even 
RTP/TCP)?
