Sorry guys. There was mistake.

"...........Since UAC didn't recive 200 PRACK as yet and  UAC didn't
receive PRACK..." should as "......Since UAC didn't recive 200 PRACK as
yet and  UAS didn't receive PRACK...."


Apologies for inconvenience.

Thanks and regards
Nabam Serbang

>From rfc3262:
  "The UAS MAY send a final response to the initial request before
   having received PRACKs for all unacknowledged reliable provisional
   responses, unless the final response is 2xx and any of the
   unacknowledged reliable provisional responses contained a session
   description.  In that case, it MUST NOT send a final response until
   those provisional responses are acknowledged.  If the UAS does send a
   final response when reliable responses are still unacknowledged, it
   SHOULD NOT continue to retransmit the unacknowledged reliable
   provisional responses, but it MUST be prepared to process PRACK
   requests for those outstanding responses.  A UAS MUST NOT send new
   reliable provisional responses (as opposed to retransmissions of
   unacknowledged ones) after sending a final response to a request"

Scenario 1:
PRACK from UAC depends on initial INVITE. If invite had "Require"
header field with value "100rel", UAS must send 1xx respone (except 100
trying) back to UAC. If UAS has sent 101-199 in reponse to INVITE
(Remember there will be Rseq header field in prov. response) , UAS will
be expecting PRACK from UAC.  Since UAC didn't recive 200 PRACK as yet
and  UAC didn't receive PRACK,  will 200 INV be accepted by UAC? I don't
think so. I guess 481 will do or time out ( Possibily by UAS). Again
INVITE, PRACK initiates transaction each, both the transaction should be
rolled back as PRACK transaction is initiated by INVITE. No doubt you
can let UAC accept after sending PRACK and before receiving 200 PRACK
but that will be a violation of protocol, not just SIP but definitation
of "transaction" as well.  From rfc3262, "...........In that case, it
MUST NOT send a final response until those provisional responses are
acknowledged....", UAS definitely is not going to send 200 INV if PRACK
is not received. 

Whats your take on this?

Scenario 2:

What  "> ----CANCEL---->" is doing?  Is it cancelling PRACK or INVITE? I
guess you  mean CANCEL to PRACK. Practically, I don't see any reason/way
to cancel PRACK. It make sense for protocol completeness though. Anyway,
if CANCEL was for PRACK, it should be re-transmitted reason as stated in
scenarion 1 above.

For the scenario 1,
   I think, as PRACK is a in-dialog request, according to RFC3261, it
SHOULD be retransmitted till timer-F expires.

For the scenario 2,
   I think, we can STOP retransmitting PRACK (even if it the Transaction
has NOT timed-out), because the early dialog which PRACK might have
facilitated the establishment of, has been terminated by CANCEL. Also,
even if we retransmit PRACK, UAS would NOT find any unacknowledged '18x'
(which matches the CSeq# and CSeq method in RAck of PRACK), so it would
send a '481' in response.
