In addition to that, there are also more complex cases involving networks 
having topologies with multiple proxies handling a given domain, which 
also need such a behavior. In short, not only can a registration end 
during a call, but also the NAT entry point used to renew a registration 
may change during a call.

All of this stuff is explained in pretty much detail in the README.
