Hi Venkatesh,

By the functionality of what you have described for your "Proxy", it is
apparent that it is NOT a proxy functionality.
Rather it is a B2BUA logic. So, the problem is with the B2BUA logic in
the Ondo SIP server.
At least that holds good for the case for Sending CANCEL.
Cross-check to see whether the Ondo SIP server is really a B2BUA or
proxy. 
In case of creating a call, if it is
1. B2BUA then, new INVITE would be sent out. 
2. Proxy then, the old INVITE is forwarded. (with some header addition,
as Via, Record-Route, etc.,)

Proxy's responsibility is just to "forward" the requests/responses to
the next "closer" party.
Also it can enforce policies (e.g. Authentication and Authorization).
Please refer below from 3261.

Proxy, Proxy Server:  
                An intermediary entity that acts as both a
server and a client for the purpose of making requests on
behalf of other clients. A proxy server primarily plays the
role of routing, which means its job is to ensure that a
request is sent to another entity "closer" to the targeted
user. Proxies are also useful for enforcing policy (for
example, making sure a user is allowed to make a call). A
proxy interprets, and, if necessary, rewrites specific parts of
a request message before forwarding it.

Best Regards,
Vasu

Hi Venkatesh,

Proxy should "generate" an ACK on receiving the 487 from B (and send it
to
B) and it should forward 487 to its next hop ( Which may be the final
recepeint i.e in your case its A, or another proxy).And whichever
recieves 487 should send ACK to sender.



Thanks and Regards,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,

Thanks a ton!

A follow-up question - Does the sip proxy "generate" an ACK on receiving

the 487 from B ? 
  Or does it "forward" the ACK sent by A (which sends the ACK on
receiving 
the 487) ?

The issue is that in the the product on which I am working, the 
requirement is that we 
should intercept the 487 that comes from the proxy to A. We should not
let 
the 487 reach 
A. Hence, I am wondering if we should also send an ACK on behalf of A 
after receiving (and 
dropping) the 487 destined to A.

thanks,
Venkatesh
