Hi Bob, >>>In fact, if the proxy is keeping track of early dialogs, under what >>>circumstances would it not be "able to identify additional early >>>dialogs which are terminated by the same non-2xx final response"? >> >>Just because the proxy keeps track of early dialogs, it doesn't >>necessarily know that an error response on early dialog X also >>terminates early dialog Y.

But, the branch-id is part of the Via, which is removed by each entity when forwarding the response. So, the forking proxy is never going to get the branch-id inserted by Z, is it? >>>Section 8 (199 Early Dialog Terminated) seems out of place. >>>Shouldn't this be in the introduction? or in an "Overview Of >>>Operation" between sections 3 and 4? >> >>I have tried to use other similar drafts as "template". >> >> >>>The text in Section 9 (Usage with SDP offer/answer) should be in >>>section 5 (User Agent Server behavior). >> >>I think it is good to have a separate chapter.

But, as you ok with the text as such? It's only the location of the text which you have an issue with?
