Re: [Sip] Dual registration without Outbound

["Karthikeyan Gopal " <[e-mail]>]

Why two UA instance? What is the use case?
If UA want's to register with 2 flow say 2 proxies we can have same 
Instance-id and vary the reg-id value.

I guess the problem arises when you want to do a single REGISTER request
for both instances. If I the use case correctly, the UA would send two
REGISTER requests (one on each interface) and both REGISTERs would have
the two Contacts (one for each instance-id). Something like this:

First REGISTER to Outbound-proxy #1

   REGISTER sip:example.com SIP/2.0
   Via: SIP/2.0/TCP 1.1.1.1;branch=z9hG4bKnashds7-1
   From: Bob <sip:[e-mail]>;tag=7F94778B653B-1
   To: Bob <sip:[e-mail]>
   Call-ID: 16CB75F21C70-1
   CSeq: 1 REGISTER
   Supported: path, outbound
   Route: <sip:ep1.example.com;lr>
   Contact: <sip:bob@1.1.1.1;transport=tcp>;reg-id=1
    ;+sip.instance="<urn:uuid:00000000-0000-1000-8000-AABBCCDDEEFF>"
   Contact: <sip:bob@2.2.2.2;transport=tcp>;reg-id=2
    ;+sip.instance="<urn:uuid:00000000-0000-1000-8000-BBCCDDEEFF00>"

Second REGISTER to Outbound-proxy #2

   REGISTER sip:example.com SIP/2.0
   Via: SIP/2.0/TCP 2.2.2.2;branch=z9hG4bKnashds7-2
   From: Bob <sip:[e-mail]>;tag=7F94778B653B-2
   To: Bob <sip:[e-mail]>
   Call-ID: 16CB75F21C70-2
   CSeq: 1 REGISTER
   Supported: path, outbound
   Route: <sip:ep2.example.com;lr>
   Contact: <sip:bob@2.2.2.2;transport=tcp>;reg-id=1
    ;+sip.instance="<urn:uuid:00000000-0000-1000-8000-BBCCDDEEFF00>"
   Contact: <sip:bob@1.1.1.1;transport=tcp>;reg-id=2
    ;+sip.instance="<urn:uuid:00000000-0000-1000-8000-AABBCCDDEEFF>"

Thus the UA could receive requests for either Contact on either of the
two outbound flows.

Is having two UA instances in the same request legal with the current
text?

[JRE] In an earlier email I was trying to say roughly the same thing,
except the way I looked at it was that a device with multiple interfaces
would logically contain a UA for each interface, and each UA would than
have a single instance ID. In that case the text in section 4.1 still
works.
