TCP support is the bug number 1 in my opinion, so very important.

TCP will be used only when the packet has more than about 1400 bytes, so
only a few clients use TCP at any given moment.

Moreover, I feel confident that linux can work with many TCP connections
simultaneously :o)

Finally, note that TCP support exists already in opal, it needs testing
(Craig dixit, see attachments).

freephonie is one of the user-visible changes: before, it worked, now,
it does not work.  We should solve this problem somehow...

Do we need a workaround for this before a proper fix? (TCP support)


TCP support.
Opal has the basic support for TCP, and has had for some time. To try it out, make sure you have a TCP listener on the same port as UDP listener (in fact, this is a requirement of the SIP RFC)
We've done basic testing and it seems to work, but I am sure there are situations where it fails 

What is needed is more testing

This is very great news!

How can we test?  How to create a TCP listener...?


The same way a UDP listener is created, but use the string

   tcp$ipaddr:port

instead of

   udp$ipaddr:port
