[SIPForum-discussion] Port Number in Contact Header

[Garron, James]

The Contact header is defined in RFC3261 as providing a SIP or SIPS URI, so looking at the ABNF:

SIP-URI          =  "sip:" [ userinfo ] hostport

so we are looking at the hostport portion

hostport         =  host [ ":" port ]

so this indicates the port is optional (anything contained in [] )

Here is a link that I find very helpful in figuring these things out.  Hope this helps.

Hello All,

Should the port number be included in the SIP Contact header (e.g. "Contact:
<sip:1028 at 192.168.72.59:5060>")?  I noticed the examples in RFC 3261 for
Contact header do not include a port number.

Best Regards,
Jerry
