[e2e] signaling performance on TCP

[Fred Baker]

I don't see why SCTP would fare one iota different than TCP. In  
context, they have essentially equivalent message exchange. SIP on  
UDP would do it in less RTTs, in that there would be no SYN/SYN-ACK  
or FIN/FIN-ACK. I think the real difference there is debateable, though.

Allocating excess capacity to a signaling channel and putting SIP  
into it basically allows SIP to bypass queues that form around file  
transfers. Personally, I think this is a good thing, and RFC 4542  
supports it.
