Thanks, but that thread doesn't handle the case in which an in-dialog
OPTIONS fails due to timeout (no response).


> Concerning in-dialog usage of OPTIONS, timeouts, 408, 481, and etcetera, RFC

I already read the RFC 5057, it ratifies what 3261 12.2.1.2 says:

----------------------
5.2.  Transaction Timeouts

   [1] states that a UAC should terminate a dialog (by sending a BYE) if
   no response is received for a request sent within a dialog.
----------------------

But includes some cases in which the UA should consider the dialog
unaffected even if an in-dialog request failed. But in any case, no
specification states that, upon an in-dialog OPTIONS timeout, the UA
should terminate the RTP without sending a BYE. Am I right?

Thanks.
