It used to be code had to be small because memory and processing power was limited. Now code can be ponderous, but

Well TCP would be just for signalling, not RTP. SCCP/SKINNY uses only TCP or TLS for signalling never supported UDP, as far as I know.

TCP could be an advantage esp over wireless networks, not counting 802.11, since the invite could be lost esp in a ring group scenario.
