Hi Paul
          SDP used by SIP contains the connection address in the 'c=' line,
         while it contains the RTP port information in 'm = ' line.  the
RTCP port used will be RTP port +1

                    c=<network type> <address type> <connection address>
                    m=<media> <port> <transport> <fmt list>

         The call originator will sends it's RTP port information &
connection address in the INVITE message, and it will get the other end  RTP
port info & connection address in the response ( e.g.200 OK).


Thanks  & Regards,
Hemant Agrawal
