A to send 200 OK of Bye and ACK for 481 (Re-INV).
S to send 481.

See section 3.2.2 of RFC 5407.

Hi,

Assume that phone “A” issues a re-INVITE request to the SIP server “S” and
at the same time “S” issues a BYE request to “A”.

Is it valid for “A” to send a 491 response to this BYE request from “S”?

The SIP INVITE dialog is for a point to point media session.

Here is the quote from the Section 15.1.2 in RFC 3261 –

“A UAS core receiving a BYE request for an existing dialog MUST follow the
procedures of Section 12.2.2 to process the request.  Once done, the UAS
SHOULD terminate the session (and therefore stop sending and listening for
media).  The only case where it can elect not to are multicast sessions,
where participation is possible even if the other participant in the dialog
has terminated its involvement in the session.  Whether or not it ends its
participation on the session, the UAS core MUST generate a 2xx response to
the BYE, and MUST pass that to the server transaction for transmission.”

>From the above, my understanding is that “A” must send a 200 OK response for
this BYE request regardless of it terminating the SIP session or not, is
this understanding correct?

>From reading the sections 14.2 and 21.4.27, it seems RFC 3261 mentions 491
response for INVITE requests only in glare conditions. Is it valid and a
good idea to send a 491 response for the BYE request when a re-INVITE client
transaction is pending?

Lastly – “UAS SHOULD terminate the session” – why is this requirement  at
SHOULD level? If the far-end “S” wants to terminate the session and has sent
a BYE request, mustn’t “A” terminate the session and expect a 487 from “S”
for its re-INVITE?

Thanks,
Vishal
