I too have noticed the somewhat strange mentioning of a "server timeout" and
at first thought it is referring to Timer L from RFC 6026 and the prior
drafts - however, this can not be since the INVITE transaction fix was
formulated after RFC 3261. Did the IETF folks invent a time machine and only
used it to send a SIP bugfix into the past? :-D

Best regards,

Peter
