According to that text, sounds like you could hardcode the call-id used for registrations (e.g. put it in ROM), as long as it's unique per device

I think the intention is that the UAC uses the same call-id while it reasonably can be expected to maintain it in memory. A boot-cycle would clear memory, hence "during a single boot cycle". Yes, that would be independent of the network connection state

Subject: [Sip-implementors] Call-ID usage by UA within the same boot cycle,after a network failure


Hi All,

RFC 3261 states that "A UA SHOULD use the same Call-ID for all registrations
during a single boot cycle." And technically a UA is still within the same
boot cycle even when the network connection is lost. Right?

Hence is it fair to assume that UA should generate the same Call-ID when UA remains powered on, and got reconnected to network after a network failure ? (maybe Home gateway or DSL/cable modem or Internet SP failure). Will be great if
anyone can confim if my assumptions are correct.

RFC 3261, Section 10.2
Call-ID: All registrations from a UAC SHOULD use the same Call-ID header
field value for registrations sent to a particular registrar.
     If the same client were to use different Call-ID values, a registrar
could not detect whether a delayed REGISTER request might have arrived out of
order.

RFC 3261, Section 10.2.4
A UA SHOULD use the same Call-ID for all registrations during a single boot cycle. Registration refreshes SHOULD be sent to the same network address as
the original registration, unless redirected.
