Hi Rashid,

   Yes, UAC can receive media packets the other side. These are early media.
RFC 3960 explains clearly how early media and regular media needs to be
handled by UAs:

Answer to your question:
<<Is this acceptable, can they send media stream without sharing SDP ? Later
on they send 18x with SDP and that's when media stream flowing in both
direction.>

Section: 3.1.

Following normal SIP procedures, the UAC is ready to play any
   incoming media as soon as it sends the initial offer in the INVITE.
   The UAS sends the answer in a reliable provisional response and can
   send media as soon as there is media to send.  Even if the first
   media packets arrive at the UAC before the 1xx response, the UAC will
   play them.

Section  3.3.
SIP signalling traverses a different path than the media.  The
   media path is typically optimized to reduce the end-to-end delay
   (e.g., minimum number of intermediaries), while the SIP signalling
   path typically traverses a number of proxies providing different
   services for the session.  Hence, it is very likely that the media
   packets with early media reach the UAC before any SIP message that
   could contain an early media indicator.

Thanks,
Aneesh
