[Megaco] [MEGACO] Mid call codec negotiation with unspecified Local descriptor

[Manpreet Singh <[e-mail]>]

Hi All,



Need you input in a MEGACO mid call codec negotiation scenario. In this
scenario Local descriptor was unspecified in mid call codec change and we
want to understand what will be correct behavior.

Call flow in summary

==================

1. Firstly there is negotiation of audio codec and it is successful (first
modify request and its reply from MG is shown in message 1 & message 2).

2. Second Modify Request send by MGC with unspecified Local (Message 3)

3. MG reply Modify with “515 Unsupported_Media_Type”.  (Message 4)



As per the RFC

=============

   An unspecified Local or Remote Descriptor is considered to be a missing
mandatory parameter. It requires the MG to use whatever was last specified
for that descriptor. It is

possible that there was no previously specified value, in which case the
descriptor concerned is ignored in further processing of the command.



Behavior

========

  In this case local Descriptor was unspecified in modify (message 3) due
to this at media gateway previously specified value was PCMA.

  As there is no matching codec in local and new remote Descriptor so MG
return error.



Question

=========

   Is MG behavior correct ?

  Can anyone please confirm the right behavior of MG with second modify
request (Message 3) ?
