Hi,
According to section 17.2.3 of rfc-3261.
17.2.3 Matching Requests to Server Transactions
When a request is received from the network by the server, it has to
be matched to an existing transaction. This is accomplished in the
following manner.
The branch parameter in the topmost Via header field of the request
is examined. If it is present and begins with the magic cookie
"z9hG4bK", the request was generated by a client transaction
compliant to this specification. Therefore, the branch parameter
will be unique across all transactions sent by that client. The
request matches a transaction if:
1. the branch parameter in the request is equal to the one in the
top Via header field of the request that created the
transaction, and
2. the sent-by value in the top Via of the request is equal to the
one in the request that created the transaction, and
3. the method of the request matches the one that created the
transaction, except for ACK, where the method of the request
that created the transaction is INVITE.
This matching rule applies to both INVITE and non-INVITE transactions
alike.
While doing such a matching, should the method in CSEQ header be used or the
method in Request Line be used?
Though in a well-formed message both these will be the same, in case of a
malformed message, these may be different.
Regards,
Krishna/Suganya
