[Msrp] Connection Sharing in MSRP


Hi All,

With Reference to draft-ietf-simple-message-sessions-2.txt

"When an MSRP endpoint wishes to send a request to a peer identified by an MSRP URL, it first needs a transport connection, with the appropriate security properties, to the host specified in the URL. If the sender already has such a connection, that is, one associated with the same host, port, and URL scheme, then it SHOULD reuse that connection."

In this case,

If the Source Port, Target Port, Source IP, Traget IP and security scehme of a particular connection matches it can be reused.

Hence same connection can be used by 2 or more sessions each of them having differnt Session IDs.

My doubt here is when does such a scenario arise? The msrp URLs are given by SDP. The SDP doesnt reuse the same port in the MSRP URL when it is already in Use.

Can you please help me on understanding the scenario when MSRP
Connection sharing may occur.

Regds,
Sudha
