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?
 
 

Regards 
Ranjit

Subject: [Sipping] Proxy acting as UAS -- CANCEL scenario



All, 

RFC3261 Section 16 states the following regarding Proxy Behavior: 

Being a proxy is a logical role for a SIP element. 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?
