Hi all,

a question from B2BUA perspective.

If on incoming side release is started (not necessarily SIP on incoming
side) and on outgoing SIP side we have established several early dialogs (no
confirmed), is there any sense to send BYE for each of these dialogs?
For me it is not. I believe CANCEL is not just preferred  but what must be.
It can cause several problems in the network and to itself.
First it can cause problems to forking proxy which  can  continue forking
until it exhausts all sources. This implies it makes problems to itself
because all provisional responses that come in 64*T1 can be received which
should initiate early dialogs.
Also, if the provisional responses from UASs that were not received (or were
not sent) can soon send 200_OK which will lead to confirmed dialog creation.

This is the question I'm asking because I've seen this B2BUA that actually
has a configurable option to send BYE or CANCEL on early dialogs and I don't
see any reasons for it. If someone does, please explain.

regards,
Damir
