Actually, I am wondering that if the UAS receives a SDP Offer without
direction attribute a=---, does it violate the RFCs if it has different
answer to that when it receives the SDP offer with direction attribute
a=sendrecv, in a complete same scenario?

   From: "Rockson Li (zhengyli)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

   I think a=sendrecv should be assume if no direction attribute
specified.

   As per RFC4566,sec 6

         a=sendrecv

            ...
            If none of the attributes "sendonly", "recvonly",
"inactive",
            and "sendrecv" is present, "sendrecv" SHOULD be assumed as
the
            default for sessions that are not of the conference type
            "broadcast" or "H332" (see below).

As Rockson says, RFC 4566 prescribes sendrecv as the default, and I know
of no statement that if a direction attribute is in the offer that it
must also be present in the answer, or a general statement that if an
attribute of a particular sort is present in the offer, an attribute of
the same sort must be present in the answer.
