Hi Dale, Is the understanding correct? 1. If the Subscription has event header which doesnt share any dialog identifiers, then a notification is generated every time there is a change in the state of any dialogs for the user identified in the request URI of the SUBSCRIBE.
2. If Subscription to a specific dialog is requested(A kind of filtering by subscriber), then the first three parameters(Call-id,From-tag and To-Tag) of the event header MUST be present, to identify the dialog that is being subscribed to. Then a notification is generated every time there is a change in the state of dialog matched by Event header parameters for the user identified in the request URI of the SUBSCRIBE and not for all the dialogs for the user identified in the request URI of the SUBSCRIBE. In case of subscription to a "set of dialogs", : 1- The Subscription for a dialog and dialogs established due to forking can be done by sharing the Call-Id and To-tag(Half dilaog details) in the Event header. 2- Can there be a Subscription for different set dialogs that the user identified in the request URI of the SUBSCRIBE is involved in(ie different call-id)?(For example : Event: Dialog;call-id=x;to-tag=y;from-tag=z;call-id=a;to-tag=b;from-tag=c ) Is this valid and can there be a subscription of the above kind? Also if there is a subscription for Single dialog(identified by call-id,from-tag and to-tag in the event header) and that dialog is not present, the notifier can terminate the subscription by sending the notify body only with the dialog info element(No dialog elements)and subscription-state header as "terminated"?.

Can there be a subscription for a set of dialogs. For ex: Event: Dialog;call-id=x;to-tag=y;from-tag=z;call-id=a;to-tag=b;from-tag=c (Is this a valid mechanism for subscribing to two dialogs) No. Because the dialog event package subscription is not "to a dialog". It is "to an address", and (presumably) by default returns information for all dialogs active that the recipient address. Adding the "call-id", etc., parameters gives you a subset of the information that you would otherwise get. Hence, providing multiple "call-id" parameters is either redundant (if they have the same value), or contradictory (if they have different values) -- in practice, it is (or should be) forbidden. Also if there is a subscription for one dialog and that dialog is not present, should the notifier terminate the subscription by sending the notify body only with the dialog info element(No dialog elements). No, it should not terminate the subscription. No, sending a body with no dialog element does not terminate the subscription. That can be done only with the Subscription-State header.
