Re: [dispatch] draft-jesske-sipping-etsi-ngn-reason-04

Hi Gonzalo,
Thank you for your comments.
You are correct. The used cases within the document shows where ISUP causes will be included.
I think in such cases we should clearly state that SIP Reason should be excluded within SIP responses, to avoid contradictions. 

Then I will include that only within 4xx/5xx/6xx Responses the Reason header with an Q.850 Cause makes sense.

There are requirements and three used cases described within the draft so I hope that fits. 

Best Regards

Roland

Hi,

as Francois suggests, a document specifying the use of Reason header 
fields in responses needs to specify those things (see Francois' list 
below). Additionally, you should think of whether or not Reason header 
fields in responses can carry SIP status codes and what happens if they 
are different to the status code of the response.

In short, the document cannot simply say that now it is OK to use Reason 
in responses. It needs to address the different situations a typical 
implementation may face.

Cheers,

Gonzalo
