Hi,
  Thanks for the response. I have a basic question, considering 3 views.

1. Suppose terminating endpoint does not support 183, and sends the
early media for IVR, should  UAC, play the media treated as if early
media. 

2. Any case the terminating endpoint must support 183 and send the media
after it sends. The 100rel is optional, in this case the sequence of 183
and early media is not guaranteed. Should UAC prepare media irrespective
of call progress message?
3. In case of 100Rel calling UA requires the option 100rel, should
terminating endpoint MUST send always after PRACK is received?

Specifically, if we want deploy a firewall between originating and
terminating endpoints, should we allow early media after INVITE without
183 is being seen?

Thanks,
Anil

I believe the rule is "the caller MUST be ready to receive any media 
described in the SDP of an INVITE immediately after sending that 
INVITE." This is how we get all those neat early-media use-cases.

Note that this use case frequently occurs when placing a call from SIP 
through a PSTN gateway (with ISDN) that terminates on a PSTN IVR, like 
that used by American Airlines. The "answer" SDP arrives in a 200OK 
that is sent by the gateway after the PSTN circuit moves into connected 
state. However, the phone circuit is not in the "connected" state for 
the first round of engagement with the IVR. The gateway in my office 
will only tolerate this for about 32 seconds before it gives up on the 
INVITE, so I have to navigate the first level of the IVR quickly.
