[SIPForum-discussion] [Sip-implementors] Offer/Answer question

Out of curiousity, why is 200OK to Invite not allowed to carry any SDP
once the reliable provisional response has completed the offer/answer?
Does that break something from a call flow standpoint? If the callee
wants to use a different codec right when call connects ( like switch
from g711 to g729 ), only way it would have to do this is via re-invites
or Update right after call actually connects. ( or delay 200OK and do
another offer/answer with UPDATE right before connecting it )

Thnx

IMO the "denial" is a bit overstated. It is only pointing out that its
inappropriate if the offer it carries will require an extended time for
approval before being answered. If that isn't to be the case then there
isn't any issue with using UPDATE.

Note that the issue with immediate response also applies to an UPDATE
used during an early dialog.
