Hi,

When looking deeper into draft-ietf-sipcore-subnot-etags, we also found the following issue/question:

Figure1/Step 3 and Figure 3/Step 3 suggest that the subnot-etags compliant notifier includes the SIP-Etag in the NOT request even if the associated SUB request did not contain Suppress-If-Match. The overview text in section 3 also seems to indicate that SIP-Etag is inserted in every NOT, but that is also informative text only.

However, Section 6 only contains normative text about inclusion of the SIP-Etag in the following situations:

1. The NOT request is generated upon SIP SUB with condition (section 6.2); and

2. The NOT request is generated with state differential (section 6.4)

So, the question is: is a subnot-etags compliant notifier required to insert the SIP-Etag in *every* NOT request, or only in the cases explicitly described in Section 6?

Regards,

Christer
