Hi In ur scenarios, SBC cannot receive 100 Trying, but it should receive 180 Ringing from TUA. Ok say SBC does not receive 180, the SBC will retransmit INVITE for certain times with timer T1).. Now say OUA sends CANCEL to proxy and proxy sends 200 OK to OUA - so here the transaction ends with respect to OUA. Now Proxy forwards CANCEL to SBC. and SBC should send 200 OK to proxy. Finally SBC can send CANCEL to TUA why should proxy send 487 to OUA? I don't think it is required amd why should SBC send 408 for the INVITE that does not exist anymore?

When a request arrives, an element that can play the role of a proxy first decides if it needs to respond to the request on its own. For instance, the request may be malformed or the element may need credentials from the client before acting as a proxy. The element MAY respond with any appropriate error code. When responding directly to a request, the element is playing the role of a UAS and MUST behave as described in Section 8.2. Please consider the following call flow scenario: OUA sends INVITE to Proxy Proxy sends 100 Trying to OUA Proxy routes INVITE to SBC SBC sends 100 Trying to Proxy SBC routes INVITE to TUA SBC does not receive 100 Trying from TUA and retransmits INVITE several times OUA sends CANCEL to Proxy Proxy responds to CANCEL with 200OK Proxy routes CANCEL to SBC SBC does not route CANCEL to TUA A CANCEL timer on Proxy pops and Proxy sends 487 for INVITE request to OUA Several seconds elapse and Timer B pops on the SBC and it sends a 408 back to the Proxy for the INVITE request The proxy does not ACK the 408 response; therefore, the SBC retransmits the 408 for 64*T1 seconds Note: The SBC is acting as a proxy and not a B2BUA Question: Is the proxy behaving correctly by sending the 487 response to the INVITE request on its own?
