Thanks Darshan, It is the fact that we require the presence of an SDP body that is the problem - i.e. calls fail to UAs that place the SDP in a reliable provisional response but not the subsequent 200. If this is an option where a reliable answer has been sent then we are out of spec. What I'm looking for is where this behaviour is defined. I don't think the RFCs are clear on the subject:-
RFC 3261 13.2.1 2nd bullet 'If the initial offer is in an INVITE, the answer MUST be in a reliable non-failure message from UAS back to UAC which is correlated to that INVITE. For this specification, that is only the final 2xx response to that INVITE.' This suggests, for an implementation covering 3261 as all UAs must, the 200 must contain an SDP body. As I understand it, behaviour defined by 3261 will not change unless explicitly stated by an extension to SIP. Now, the extension in question is RFC 3262 (Reliability of Provisional Responses) and nowhere in this RFC does it modify the behaviour of the 200 response to the INVITE. In fact it explicitly states that the same rules are followed as defined in section 13.2 of RFC3261. I'm fairly sure now that SDP in a 200 response to INVITE is optional and certainly the general consensus of the SIP implementors is that it is optional but I do need to know where this is stated in the RFCs. Please can someone point me in the right direction.

The 200 OK CAN contain an SDP even if a reliable 1XX contained an SDP. The proviso being that it must remain unchanged from the SDP answer in the 1XX response (since the offer answer is already complete). So your implementation isn't actually "incorrect" but it shouldn't require the SDP in 200 OK if the offer answer has already been exchanged before. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Paterson Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 4:11 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Sip-implementors] Where in the specs? Hi all, In a previous thread (No SDP in 200 reply to INVITE), Nataraju A.B. wrote: 'If the 1xx responses were sent reliably then it's optional to carry the SDP in 200 responses.' I can't for the life of me find in the RFCs where this is stated. Please could you enlighten me. Currently our implementation requires that all 200 responses contain an SDP body but it seems from this thread that this behaviour is incorrect when any 1xx + SDP response was sent reliably. Thanks in advance.
