A re-INVITE requires the dialog established prior to take place, while an UPDATE could occur within the dialog establishment (between INVITE and 200 OK I mean) to change SDP parameters and so. Also, an UPDATE is inmediately replied by the SIP core of the remote endpoint. In the other hand, re-INVITE could require, in some cases, authorization of the user (human user). For example, alice is in an audio call with bob, and after some minutes of conversation bob decides to add video to the session. This is acomplished by sending a re-INVITE with audio&video SDP. Alice's phone receives such re-INVITE and ask the human user to accept or reject the video session. -- Iñaki Baz Castillo <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
