491 is apt for re-Invite and UPDATEs as it was introduced to handle
glare conditions. It may be applicable for reSUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY also. But
I don't think REGISTER and BYE fall in this category. 491 is for pending
request within the same dialog and it doesn't apply for REGISTER, as it
doesn't create a dialog. If BYE messages are crossed over wire, both
sides understand the intention of terminating the dialog and there is no
need to respond with 491.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] 491 (Request Pending) question

Hi all,

I want to ask a trivial question - just would like to see some others
opinion:

In RFC 3261    491 (Request Pending) is defined only for re-INVITE, also

in the same mechanism is reused in RFC 3311 (UPDATE Method)

My question : is the any practice 491 to be used for some other reuests
and in other situations e.g.
what should be the behaviour of UAS which receive 491 in responce to
it's REGISTER or .. BYE for example? I think default 4xx behaviour?
