if contact is gruu, does it mean that 'ob' param is implicitly
included?
I am not sure why this is worded like this. I was thinking that using
a GRUU as a contact in a dialog-forming request would mandate that
requests sent to that Contact would be sent using the same flow, but
I see no such rule in draft-ietf-sip-gruu.
Gruu isn't dependent on outbound.
So explain this one for me, please.
Is it that, if the gruu was formed using outbound (that is, the "real"
contact for which the gruu is an alias has an "ob") use of the gruu will
use the "ob" in the dereferencing at the gruu-provider?
Sure. When the translation of the gruu takes place the contact, with the
ob param, will go in the R-URI. And then of course that influences how
it is routed.
So for the example referenced above may be correct, but incomplete -- it
should talk about whether or not the gruu was formed using outbound, not
just whether or not the contact isa gruu.
Yes, I think you are right. The UA needs to either use a contact with
'ob', or a gruu that maps to a contact with 'ob'.
Thanks,
Paul
