Hi all,

Wanted a couple of clarifications regarding the handling
of the SDP origin line vis-a-vis offer/answer. Tried going
through the offer/answer and the call-flows draft, but
could not solve all of them.

1. In case the UAC sends SDP in INVITE with the session-id
   in the "o=" line as (say) 2845844566, is it a MUST for
   the UAS to return the same session-id in the answer?
   The offer/answer-02 draft allows the UAS to have an
   independant version number, but is silent about the
   session-id field. Can the UAS use a different session-id
   and use the same session-id henceforth? The call-flows
   draft (draft-ietf-sipping-basic-call-flows-00.txt) does
   seem to indicate this.

2. Same offer, but a different answer
   ----------------------------------
   Should the 'version' field of the "o=" line in the answer
   be incremented even if the offer was unchanged and the
   answer is different from the original answer in
   (a) only the ports?
   (b) only a change in IP address?
   (c) change (addition/subtraction) in accepted codecs?

3. Different offer, but same answer
   --------------------------------
   If the offer is different from the previous offer by
   the UAC (he's trying to add some codecs, say); but the
   answer that the UAS generates is the same as the previous
   answer (all additions that were attempted are rejected),
   then should the UAS increment its version in the o= line?
   If it does, is it an error?

I feel it would be good if the offer/answer draft was
made more explicit regarding the handling of the o= line.

Thanks in advance.
Siddharth.
