Hi all,

What happens if the 1xx does not contain a contact header? According to
RFC 3261, this is optional for 1xx response (see table 2, page 162), it
is only mandatory for 2xx response. Does 3262 update this at all? I
can't find anywhere in it that does.

Cheers

Steve

I guess we should not mix CANCEL handling with PRACK/UPDATE. CANCEL is
send to all the forked brnaches of INVITE. PRACK/UPDATE is sent only on
one particular forked INVITE branch.
Therefore PRACK/UPDATE have to be send using Request-Uri constructed
from 18x Contact and with Route set constructed from the Record-Route
set read in reverse order of 18x.
This is what IMS call-flow says.
