I think I am missing something here. I presume that the knowledge of the UA is limited to:
- to proxy addresses
- an AOR to register

Presumably the address of the registrar is derived from the AOR to register by removing the user part. So the UA, when registering, doesn't specify two different registrars. Whether there are two or not is a function of how the proxy routes the register request. So whether the two registers for the same contact go to one registrar or two is unknown to the UA. In some configurations this would give you redundancy, and in others it would not.

Then, what causes the UA to register two different contacts? Are the wlan contact and the 3g contact registered to *different* AORs? If not I don't see the point. If anything, I would expect that 3g and wlan represent access networks and hence differing proxies, not AORs or registrars.

        Thanks,
        Paul

no, like this:

 > UA_Contact_3g   ----- OB_1 ----- REG_1
 > UA_Contact_3g   ----- OB_2 ----- REG_2

Now, in your example, if OB_1 and REG_2 fail you don't still don't have
redundancy :)

if outbound does not mandate that UA must register each contact with
both ob proxies, my pleasant surprise was a too
early one and ob draft falls back to the useless bin.

I don't have the spec in front of me, but I don't think it currently
talks about multiple contacts.

I guess this all comes back to Dean's question whether we need some new
text into the draft.

In order to avoid delaying the Outbound spec even more, I guess it could
also be an extension draft:"Outbound with multiple contacts", or
something like that...

Regards,

Christer
