Well, if the called party takes a while to pick up the phone and a final response is not recieved at the UAC in that time, and no inermediate responses are received either (because the RINGING was dropped for example), I suppose the client transaction on the UAC would time out. Whereas, it would seem that if the INVITE did get to the UAS and the phone is indeed ringing, it would make sense to send periodic RINGING while the phone is indeed ringing at the UAS.
I suppose one can use provisional reliable response for that purpose if that is really an issue but I was wondering why a single RINGING suffices and if so, what is the purpose of even sending that one RINGING if it can be dropped.
