Also you need to assume it will resolve to the IP you expect, not necessarily the case if it resolves to multiple IPs for example or it has changed and the TTL has not expired yet. And it might not play well with SIP ALGs. I'd avoid it. That's not evidence based, purely gut instinct.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 3 August 2016 at 06:10, Michael Jerris <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mike@jerris.com" target="_blank">mike@jerris.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I have not once in my life seen someone use a hostname instead of an ip in an sdp, and I do not believe it is legal.<br>

Using hostnames in the record-route and SDP addresses meets the requirement since the OS will synthesize an IPv6 address when a DNS query is performed, but according to the documentation they strongly urge applications to avoid using address literals in their applications.<br>
