Hi

I am glad to know that there is already some discussion about relaxing the 
Offer Answer rule for 1xx/PRACK  pare, although I didn`t notice the
discussion then.

Although our implementation do support the solution to provide some false
answer and then update it.
We feel some what reluctant, and we also tend to not to providing offer in
1xx considerting that the peer
may not able to have sdp information then.

any more suggestion?

regards
Peili

Hi,

Unfortunately I don't have a reference to the thread Paul is refering to.

However, I can't remember any technical reason why the rule could not be
relaxed (apart from "because the RFC says so" type of comments).

So, unless there IS a technical reason why the rule can't be relaxed, I
really think we should do that.

Because, defining this send-dummy-SDP-and-then-UPDATE hack, just because an
RFC says something, is a really bad thing to do (again, assuming that there
is no real technical reason behind the RFC text). 

(And, one COULD maybe also end up in similar situations as those I described
in the thread about rejecting offers received in PRACK.)

Regards,

Christer

A long time ago there was a long discussion thread about these cases 
where an immediate answer is required. There were arguments that the 
rules mandating this needed to be relaxed, and there were 
counterarguments providing reasonable workarounds.

Does anybody still have a reference to that thread?

One possible solution is to is to return an answer with all the media 
streams set to inactive, or black holed. Then later, when you have the 
info, send an UPDATE.
