Hi All,

I have a question regarding supporting the session timer (draft from July 18, 
2004).
>From one side it's written that 

   "A UAC that supports the session timer extension defined here MUST
   include a Supported header field in each request (except ACK)"

>From other side on page 18 there is a table, indicating  the UAS behavior

       UAC supports?  refresher parameter  refresher parameter
                           in request           in response
       -------------------------------------------------------
             N                none                 uas
             N                uac                  NA
             N                uas                  NA
             Y                none             uas or uac
             Y                uac                  uac
             Y                uas                  uas


>From line N1 we can see that if "timer" supported header doesn't exist in 
>INVITE, the UAS 
may include it in 200 response.
And visa versa. 
   It is
   possible that the UAC requested session timer (and thus included a
   Session-Expires header field in the request), but there was no
   Require or Session-Expires header field in the 2xx response.  This
   will happen when the UAS doesn't support the session timer extension,
   and only the UAC has asked for a session timer (no proxies have
   requested it).  In this case, if the UAC still wishes to use the
   session timer (they are purely for its benefit alone), it has to
   perform them. 

Does it mean, that UAS or UAC has to send UPDATE/RE-INVITE to the non-supported 
timer side 
and "cut" the session if 200 reply is not received (why should it be received 
if other side doesn't support it) ?

I hope I explained the problem

Thanks in advance

Ira
