[Sipping] About offeranswer draft:

[[e-mail]]

Hi Paul,

While considering one problem in our production's interoperability 
testing, I re-read some parts of offeranswer draft and find something 
might be deserving discussion.

//begin of text(part):
For example, in Figure 1, only the SDP in F6 is the answer.  The SDP
   in the non-reliable response (F2) is the preview of the answer and

   must be the same as the answer in F6.  Receiving F2, the UAC should
   act as if it receives the answer.
//end of text(part)

[Gao] In fact, UAS sending SDP in non-reliable response is for potential 
early media usage. Considering some UAS may have different address for 
early media channel and the final session, some UAS may send different 
SDP(compare with the answer) in non-reliable response. And I really found 
such equipment inside and outside of ZTE. And considering UAC, I think we 
should allow the UAC ignore the SDP in non-reliable response, while some 
UAC really do not handle any SDP which is not offer or answer. 

But the permissibility of the degree of the difference might be delicate. 
If the non-answer SDP just has different ip address or port, it seams OK. 
If the non-answer SDP has different media streams, it would be hard to 
handle for UAC.


And I re-read correlative part of RFC3261. I don't know that whether 
allowing different SDP(compare with the answer) in non-reliable response 
is violation/correction of current text or not.

//correlative part of RFC3261
o  If the initial offer is in an INVITE, the answer MUST be in a
         reliable non-failure message from UAS back to UAC which is
         correlated to that INVITE.  For this specification, that is
         only the final 2xx response to that INVITE.  That same exact
         answer MAY also be placed in any provisional responses sent
         prior to the answer.  The UAC MUST treat the first session
         description it receives as the answer, and MUST ignore any
         session descriptions in subsequent responses to the initial
         INVITE.

Thanks,

Gao
