I agree with your table. So what you get is that the last transmission is after 63*T1.
Now, timer B is set to 64*T1 when the first transmission is sent.
When timer B expires the transaction will terminate.
This means that the last transmission it T1 (64*T1-63*T1) before
the transaction terminates.
This is why I think that the last transmission is a waste.

It is something like this...
 
0 Invite sent   
1st retrans     T1(tme interval)       (T1) time since first transmission after this expiry
2nd retrans     2_T1                     (T1 + 2_T1) ==>> 3T1
3rd retrans     4_T1                     (T1 + 2_T1 + 4_T1) ==>> 7T1
4th retrans     8_T1                     (T1 + 2_T1 + 4_T1 + 8_T1) ==>> 15T1
5th retrans     16_T1                     (T1 + 2_T1 + 4_T1 + 8_T1 +16_T1) ==>> 31T1
6th retrans     32_T1                     (T1 + 2_T1 + 4_T1 + 8_T1 +16_T1 + 32_T1) ==>> 63T1
 
The actual protection time for 6th retransmission is 32*T1 not T1(which ia mentioned in sarit's mail)

Sarit,
This is the way I interpret it:-

1 INVITE sent
2 500 ms
3 1 sec
4 2 sec
5 4 sec
6 8 sec
7 16 sec
8 Timer B fires

Does this make more sense?

Chris.
