Hi,
I have still not got a complete answer.
Case1: Putting a call on hold by using send only(Party
A) and the other end(Party B) reposning by recvonly ,
this case still has one directional media path
open(From A->B).
What is the case when the other end(Party B) responds
with a = inactive...
does it mean no media path in both directions or same
as case 1( one way media from A->B)/.
Please reply ASAP.

Thanks
