Here's a question:
A UA has registered two flows to one instance. It has one gruu. The UA uses the gruu as the contact in a dialog-forming request. An in-dialog request (for example, BYE) is sent back to the UA. On which flow does it get routed?

From gruu-15:


  1.  The client is using draft-ietf-sip-outbound [13] and registering
      multiple contacts for redundancy.  In that case, these contacts
      contain reg-id Contact header field parameters, and the rules
      described in Section 7 of draft-ietf-sip-outbound [13] for
      selecting a single registered contact apply.



Not helpful; section 7 refers to out-of-dialog request forwarding.

Why do you say that. That section of outbound doesn't even mention dialogs.

What happens to in-dialog requests?

The request references a gruu.

A pre-outbound gruu is bound to one and only one contact, so the request-URI transformation rule is obvious; transform the request-URI using the contact associated with the gruu. This behavior is specified in 6.1 of the gruu draft. Oddly enough, that text in gruu-6.1 replaces the request-URI with "the registered contacts" (note the plural). Not sure that makes sense. Somebody tell me if that's a bug in gruu.

An outbound-compliant gruu is bound to one and only instance, but an instance can have multiple contacts.

I think what has to happen to make it work is fairly obvious, but it isn't documented anywhere I can find.

There's some hinting at it in outbound-5.3.2, but inly from the perspective of the edge proxy. What has to happen at the home proxy to make this work?

I assume the same thing as for out of dialog requests. Out of dialog requests that reference a gruu need just as much to get to the proper instance as in-dialog requests do.

Why does it matter if both flows are functional? Presumably if one of the flows has had problems the proxy ought to choose the other one first.

        Thanks,
        Paul
