On question 1:
I think implementations tend to share the same dialog for multiple dialog
usages( explicity disallowing INVITE on a dialog set up by a SUBSCRIBE
dialog-usage).
So, it would not be prudent to sent an error response to a request when
there is a BYE response pending. On a dialog initiated by an INVITE and
later shared by a SUBSCRIBE usage, we could receive a NOTIFY at any point in
time. Rejecting this may lead to an undesirable termination of the
subscription. So IMO, the scenario is best handled by the dialog-usage.
***
Inline with the SIP architectural principles, it is compelling to see the
dialog as a hard-wired layer, which is the final frontier as far as 'SIP' is
concerned. Any procedures above the dialog would be dictated by the dialog
usage. It is important to lay down the rules with respect to dialog
procedures unambiguously for achieving such clarity.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] About Exceptional Procedure draft
Folks
I update exceptional procedure draft. I would like to discuss about the
behavior of a dialog shown in the draft.
According to section 15 of RFC3261, a dialog seems to exist
until it receives a final response to a BYE or request timeout occurs.
It seems that UAs should send a 200 OK to the BYE, when BYE requests
from both sides cross each other.
However, if you receive the request like REFER, which inflences the
ongoing dialog, after you send a BYE and before the dialog terminates,
I think the request should fail and the error should be returned.
(See Exceptional Procedure draft 2.4)
These things considered, I have the following two questions.
1. When UA receives new requests (REFER or etc.) after sending a BYE and
before receiving a final response to the BYE, may I send error responses
to
the new requests?
2. When would a dialog be terminated, A or B?
A. At the time of receiving a final response to BYE, or a timeout of the
BYE transaction.
B. At the time of sending a BYE request.
(On question 1, I think UAs should send an error response to the
new request. So, UA sends an error response in the Exceptional
Procedure draft.
On question 2, a dialog is terminated on sending a BYE according to
my interpretation. So, UA sends an error response (481) to both a
REFER or a BYE. )
Please give me your comments about this questions.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Miki Hasebe
