Hi Christer,
What you have said is already clear from the specification, however, I am not refering to the SDP in 183 being sent as an answer. In the scenario I am dealing with, no SDP is sent in the Invite in the first place, so this is different from what is detailed in the specification.
Cheers,
Steven

Hi,

It is allowed to send an SDP answer an unreliable 18x. The reason it's not considered as 
a "valid answer" is because it's unreliable, so if it gets lost and a new offer 
is sent the whole offer/answer state would get out of synch. However, that doesn't mean 
that you can't use the SDP you receive in un unreliable 18x, und you can assume that the 
SDP will not change in any additional 18x (or 200) for the same dialog within the same 
transaction.

Hi Sayan,
I am sending the Invite with no offer to a Cisco AS5350. It is the AS5350 that is sending back the 183 with SDP (I wouldn't refer to it as an offer per se, as it is not a reliable response). I have no control over how the 183 response is constructed, so I was looking to know if it is allowed to contain the SDP or not. I have not found anything in the documentation detailing this. What we are probably going to do is ignore the 183 SDP and wait for the SDP in the subsequent 200.
Cheers,
Steven

Hi,
Bit confused, but how does this help?
As I understand the answer for the offer in the 18x (identical SDP
repeated in the 200), will be answered only in the ACK to

the 200 OK.

So what's the point in doing an "early offer" in an 18x, as

the offer

answer can only be completed when the 200 OK/ACK exchange

takes place.

Does sending an offer in 18x helps in any specific call flow?
Just curious...

Regards ,
Sayan

Hi,

To my understanding the same SDP shall be sent in all subsequent
provisional responses - no matter if they are sent reliably

or not. You

can only have at most one offer/answer exchange per SIP

transaction, so

once you've sent an offer (or answer, if the INVITE did contain an
offer) in 18x you can't send any more within that transaction.

When it comes to forking, each dialog is handled completely separate
from each other, ie the offer/answer "state" on one dialog is not
affected by other dialog. How the UAC then chooses which dialogs to
accept/reject, and how to handle possible media received

from multiple

UASs, is an implementation issue.

Paul,

I agree that the same SDP should be sent in the subsequent

non-reliable


response and also on the first Reliable response.

I guess you are shifting from the subject of the original question, and discussing a "normal" invite that includes an offer.



What if the call is forked?  In that case, there could be multiple
provisional responses, each could be potentially different?

How does the


UAC handle those?

This has been well documented and discussed, though it can get complex.

The response to each fork creates a separate dialog. It is up
to the UAC
to keep the different dialogs straight until one is answered and the
others are cancelled.

        Paul



Thanks,
Neel

Well, I went back and read to refresh my memory. I agree

that there is


nothing that suggests SDP might be in an unreliable

provisional when


there had been no offer in the initial request.

If it *was* there, you wouldn't be able to consider it a

true offer,


since that must be in a reliable request or response. It

would have to


be a hint of the offer to come. I don't find any language that
explicitly *prohibits* this. But in the absence of anything

suggesting


it might be valid you would be best to not count on it.

        Paul

Hi Paul,
So you are saying that when an INVITE is sent with no

offer, a 183 with


SDP can be sent in response?
Can you point me to where exactly this is documented please, as my
problem is I cannot find anything in RFC 3261 or any other

documentation


to confirm expected behaviour for the 183?
Cheers,
Steven

It is ok to include the SDP in the 183 when the Invite

contains the


initial offer, but RFC 3261 is not clear as to whether

the SDP can be


included when no offer is included in the initial invite.



I believe the answer is YES. The *same* SDP should be sent in the first reliable response.

Paul
