 Changes to use of ser scripts
 =============================
 
+About Multiple Transport Support
+--------------------------------
+SER now suports multiple transport protocols: UDP and TCP. As there
+may be UAs which support only either protocol and cannot speak to
+each other directly, we recommend to alway record-route SIP requests,
+to keep the transport-translating SER in path. Also, if a destination
+transport is not known, stateful forwarding is recommended -- use of
+stateless forwarding for TCP2UDP would result in loss of reliability.
