Hello,

 

I am at the moment working through RFC 3261, and therefore I am interested in taking part in discussing your question. I hope you don’t mind that.

My view is the following:

 

According to RFC 3261 16.7  (Response Processing of a Proxy) step 10 requires the proxy to immediately generate CANCEL requests for all pending client transactions.

These CANCEL requests will terminate the transactions to C and D. So it is very unlikely, that other 200 OK will be forwarded to the A.

But if this is the case (more than one 200 OK received by A in case of a race condition at the proxy), than the proxy will also to CANCEL the pending client transaction.

If A sends ACK and BYE it might generate a 481 Transaction Does not Exist.

 

This is my view. Please tell me, if I am wrong.

 

Franz

Once you have accepted the the transaction from B (200 OK), you will have to cancel the other forked request.

As you say, what if one gets 200 from others as well (C, D in your case). To comply with the spec, the other side would expect ACK for a final response (200 ok). So you will have to send ACK (as it is late to send a CANCEL at this point..) . After having done that, you can immediately send out BYE's to the other legs (C, D) to take down those connections.

Hi!

I saw a lot of discussions regarding sending of BYE request in the archive of this discussion list, but my question is different.
Assume the following scenario:

INVITE
A -------------> B, C, D (forking)

200 OK
A <------------- B, C, D

At this point A has to acknowledge the first received 200 OK (let it be from B) responce and terminate others dialogs:

ACK
A --------------> B

Here is the question. Should A send ACK requests also to the C and D and after that immediately send a BYE request to C and D, or
just send BYE request to C and D after received second and third 200 OK response? In the first case if ACK will not be delivered to
the C and D, the situation will look like the second scenario...

Thank you in advance.
