I'm still not sure what you originally objected to. Just to be point out that the UPDATE can come from either side, I'm copying figure 1 from the UPDATE RFC here.

Tell me what SDP you think is safe to put in message 9.
I _think_ you're saying it should be answer 1 from message 2. How could that help anybody? The session described by offer1/answer1 is long long gone. If you repeat offer 3 from message 7, again - how could that help anybody?

I'll accept that you don't like the whole idea of early dialogs and early media. But that cat's so far out of the bag its forgotten what the bag smells like. Given that this stuff is now _deployed_, what's the best answer to my original question?

What Paul points out causes me to champion making a much clearer MUST NOT put SDP in the 200-INVITE if you're using 100-rel.

And my questions about how the repeat of either of those SDPs is earnest, not rhetorical. I really don't see how its helping something work. Can you diagram the scenario where not repeating the SDP you want to repeat leads to abject failure?

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.

    |  200 IN SDP?     |
    |<-----------------|

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.
