Subject: [Sip-implementors] Q: can a call stateful proxy send a BYE to
terminate forked INVITEs that already have 200 responses?

Hello,

(Apologies -- I expect this question to have been discussed already, but

I'm unable to locate a discussion in the archives.)

RFC3261 explicitly states that a proxy may initiate CANCELs along forked

INVITE destinations when a first response comes back.  I cannot locate 
anything saying that a BYE cannot be sent.

My reading of RFC4028 Sect. 8.3 suggests that proxies MUST NOT send BYE 
messages.

[ABN] this does mean, the proxy should not generate the BYE or any other
message, with an exception, and it can generate CANCEL on reception of
2xx or 6xx to INV. Hence it's been mentioned as MUST not send BYE
(implicitly mean should not trigger BYE from itself). If it receives the
BYE from UAC/UAS then it has to forward / fork depending on the
prevailing conditions. 


Is there a specific section of an RFC/draft that covers this exact 
question, or does it need to be derived from other RFC requirements?

Thanks!
