Re: [Sip-implementors] Offer/Answer questionHi All,

As per rfc 3311 , update is used for early media (early dialog) .
As per my understanding , early dialog means the 200 OK has been not recvd for the INVITE.
Please tell me whether ReInvite cannot be used for this Particular case.


Thanks and Regards

  Agree with session refresh(without o/a in specific). Makes call flow simplistic and in lots of cases avoids interoperability issues caused due to o/a wth re-invites

  Thnx

  Sometimes the call flow won't work right if a human delay is inserted in
  it. In that case UPDATE is ideal because it prevents that eventuality.

  The 3pcc call flow RFC (I forget the number) is getting a bit long in
  the tooth now, but it it talks about some cases with that kind of
  constraint.

  UPDATE is also useful without o/a for session timer refresh.
