Is Genband's C20/CS2000 switches used as a gateway to PSTN and SIP network? or 
is it used as a pure SIP network element (proxy, B2BUA, etc)?


If *only SIP is involved*, I can *not* figure out how the INFO method can be 
used to convey overlapping digits. INFO is sent within an early dialog created 
by the INVITE carrying the first dialed digits, if the INVITE is sent by the 
caller's UAC, with who will it create the dialog? According to RFC3261, a 
dialog is a relationship between UAs not between proxies or between a UA and a 
proxy (right?). 


Suppose the basic SIP trapezoid is used: 
    UAC->Proxy1->Proxy2->UAS


In a pure SIP network, if the caller UAC can create an early dialog with the 
callee UAS,  the digits in the Request-URI *is* complete! (subsequent digits 
are not necessary because the UAS has been reached), so the UAC should *not* 
create the dialog with the UAS,  and then how should the dialog be created? and 
between what elements?


thanks!

I know Genband's C20/CS2000 switches support (and default) to using the INFO 
method for overlapping digits (this is what they call partial dialled digits 
followed by subsequent digits).

Thanks to all!


I found one internet draft that propose to use the INFO method to convey 
subsequent dialed numbers:


http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-zhang-sipping-overlap-01.txt


It claimed to resolve the issues related to the INVITE/484/ACK approach in 
RFC3578, but this draft seems to be deceased only after one revision, don't 
know what's wrong with it!

It isn't meaningless; it wastes network resources and the devices would need to 
agree upon what should occur (i.e. how the digits are collected, et cetera).

Even though draft-ietf-bliss-shared-appearances provides a PUBLISH mechanism 
for seizing an appearance, some vendors might also allow an INVITE/484/ACK 
exchange to temporarily keep an appearance seized.
