Hi,

[CHH] Yes.

[CHH] It's an implementation specific issue. You can choose to accept it, not to
accept it, or release the session setup.

[CHH] Chapter 5 of RFC3262 talks about the UAS not sending the 200 (INVITE) if
it has a pending reliable18x *WITH* SDP (I have some issues with that rule, but
that's another discussion...), but I don't think the spec says anything about
how the UAC shall behave if it receives 200 (INVITE) before 200 (PRACK). In
fact, I think that will be a pretty normal scenario, and will for example occur
every time the UAS sends 200 (INVITE) before it has received PRACK for a pending
reliable 18x (without SDP).
