So, IF we a=connection to work with relays, I guess we would need to
provide the information to the relay inside the MSRP message.

I'm not sure I follow--what would you conceptually be telling the
relay?

You would be telling that a session modification has occurred (the
remote address hasn't changed), and whether the relay can continue to
use the existing TCP connection for the session, or whether it should
create a new one.

Ie the client would tell the relay exactly what the client was told in
the session modification SDP.


So, why would we ever need to explicitly signal (in SDP) that a relay (or an endpoint for that matter) needs to create a new connection instead of reusing an appropriate existing one?
