 The SIP keywords are implemented as sticky buffers and can be used to match on fields in SIP messages.
 
+As described in RFC3261, common header field names can be represented in a short form. 
+In such cases, the header name is normalized to its regular form to be matched by its
+corresponding sticky buffer.
