Hello,

"If the client transaction receives a provisional response while in
   the "Calling" state, it transitions to the "Proceeding" state. In the
   "Proceeding" state, the client transaction SHOULD NOT retransmit the
   request any longer."

You retransmit the request seventh time only if you didn't receive any answer from the 
other end. If you consider this statement

"The server transaction MUST generate a 100
   (Trying) response unless it knows that the TU will generate a
   provisional or final response within 200 ms, in which case it MAY
   generate a 100 (Trying) response."

Your client transaction should not retransmit anything if the process goes correctly, 
I mean, not transport error or network congestion occur.


hope this helped,

Subject: [Sip-implementors] The seventh INVITE transmission - isn't it a waste


Hi,
For UDP the client transaction retransmits INVITE requests at an interval
that
starts at T1 seconds and doubles after every retransmission.
This should continue until timer B expires - 64*T1 msec.

The result is that the seventh transmission takes place after 63*T1
milliseconds.
Since T1 defaults to 500 msec, the transaction will terminate 500 msec after
the last transmission.

My question is:
Is this the expected behavior?
Isn't it a waste to retransmit the request 500 msec before the transaction
terminates?

Regards,
Sarit.
