Paul, Thanks for the answers. The client restart use case would normally reuse the same contact binding (IP address and sip.instance). But what about the use case where a client attempts to de-register another clients contact binding.
For example, I have a client running on my tablet. It has registered and has one contact binding. Then I start my smart phone client and it registers (same AOR) and receives its contact binding and the tablet contact binding in the 200OK. Would it be possible for the smart phone to de-register the tablet contact binding?
