One more thing,

What will be the case with a subscrption which is not part of a invite
transaction.

Will a 481 response in such a sceanrio terminate the subscription at the
subscriber`s end?

Thanks and regards,

true

Brett already responded to you about this.
There is no single indicator in a request of which usage it belongs to. 
That must be determined contextually:
- certain methods are tied to a particular usage:
   . BYE, INFO, UPDATE, (re)INVITE are always part of INVITE usage
- some methods could be part of more than one usage.
   additional info from the message determines which one:
   . SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY, PUBLISH are always part of a usage
     determined by the event type and id

So, the BYE is part of the INVITE usage if there is one, and is in error
if there is none.

If we had a dialog with both INVITE and SUBSCRIBE usages, and then there
can easily be cases in which both ends attempt to terminate the INVITE
by sending BYE. In that case one of them will probably be getting a 481.

And that should not harm the SUBSCRIBE usage.

(See RFC 5407 - race-examples.)

That is true

done.
