There can be several UPDATEs with their associated 200-UPDATES before the 200-INVITE. Remember that UPDATE is a nonINVITE transaction and there may be a _long_ time between the UPDATE and the 200-INVITE.

Paul drew the arrow backwards for the 200-UPDATE though - did that mislead you?


Ah, yes, I read that Alice had sent a second conflicting offer in UPDATE.

However, even with this directionality, the answer in the INVITE-200, if present, would have to be a copy of the answer in the 183. This doesn't create any error I can see, it just illustrates the UPDATE race condition that would have existed even had there not been an answer in the 183. Early media, early session, and UPDATE were all bad ideas (probably all because of forking and PSTN interactions) IMHO, and I'm pretty sure reliable provisionals are on that list too.

Now what should be in the 200 for the invite?

Its better to do what is already required - send no SDP in the 200 for the invite.
