Hi,

any other non-100 provisional responses."

Receiving 199 out-of-dialog is an error case, and I think it's an
implementation issue how those are handled. We normally don't specify
that.

I also think it is quite clear that a proxy which support 199 would not
create a new dialog.

I guess the text you propose applies to any final response (not only
2xx) sent by the forking proxy. 

I guess I could add some text, eventhough I think it is obvious. When
the forking proxy forwards a final response it terminates all early
dialogs.

>2) Section 7 Backward compatibilility
>
>"The 199 Early Dialog Terminated response code does not "replace" a
final response.  A final response is always sent, 
>after one or many 199 provisional responses have been sent."
>
>A final response is NOT always sent.  If the forking has resulted in at
least one 2xx being sent on the server

server transaction after the 2xx.

Well, in that case a final response (the 2xx) HAS been sent. The text
doesn't say that a final response must be sent on each early dialog.

>So these early dialogs which receive non-2xx final response AFTER a
first 2xx final response will not get 199 but will 
>only be considered terminated by the UAC 64*T1 seconds after the
reception of the first 2xx response.  Even those early 
>dialogs for which 199 responses have been sent (because the final
responses were received before the first 2xx) will not 
>receive a final response.
>
>RFC3261/13.2.2.4:
>
>  "The UAC core considers the INVITE transaction completed 64*T1
seconds
>   after the reception of the first 2xx response.  At this point all
the
>   early dialogs that have not transitioned to established dialogs are
>   terminated.  Once the INVITE transaction is considered completed by
>   the UAC core, no more new 2xx responses are expected to arrive." 

The intention is to say that IF the server has an intention to send a
final response on a specific dialog, it must not "replace" that final
response with a 199.

>3) Minor comments:

I will do that.

------

>Section 6 : "...., it generates a unique Via header branch parameter
value for each fork".
>Replace "fork" with "forked leg" because the term "fork" has not be
defined officially or used in RFC 3261 for this 
>purpose.

I will do that.

------

>Section 6: "A forking proxy which supports generating of 199 response
codes..."
>Replace "codes" with "code".

I would propose to say "generating of 199 responses..." instead. That is
more alligned with the wording in other places of the document.

Thank You very much for your comments!

                Hi,
        
                I have put together a new version (-07) of the 199
draft, based on the latest discussions.
        
                The changes are in chapters 5 (new note added) and 6
(text simplified). 100rel and SDP o/a impacts have also been added to
chapters 5 and 6 (I have still kept chapters 9 and 10, though).
