Hi,

According to 13.2.1, if the INVITE did not contain the initial offer, the UAS can make the offer only in a reliable non-failure message. Hence, the UAS cannot make
the offer in an unreliable 18x.

Also, sending the response over TCP would not make it reliable, since it is not known/gauranteed that all intermediate hops also use TCP to send the response
across.

Thanks and regards,
A. N. Gautham

Hi all,

I was exploring the possibility for the UPDATE to send the Answer,
As I haven't found any explicit restriction in RFC 3311.

I went through the older Thread
http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/sip-implementors/2004-January/006017.
html
<http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/sip-implementors/2004-January/006017
.html> and came across following Qs which I found not clarified though.

1. Can UPDATE be used to send an answer SDP ?
   Consider the following scenario:
   -  INVITE was sent without SDP
   - 18x is received with Offer SDP
   - There is no PRACK exchange because 18x does not contain a
Require:100rel header
   Now can UPDATE be used to send answer SDP??

2. As per RFC 3311, UPDATE method should be used only if dialog is
established.
   If INVITE/18x exchange happened without PRACK, can both ends treat
this as early dialog and feel free to use UPDATE ?

3. Is 18x send/recv over TCP considered reliable ?
   In the following scenario:
   - INVITE with offer sdp sent
   - 18x over TCP with answer sdp recvd (No PRACK exchange happened)
   Now can the caller/calleee use UPDATE ?
Can any body clarify the same?

Thanks in advance,
Bhavik Chauhan
