Arun
My question is if ACK for non 2xx final reponse which is in same
transactions of INVITE.
Why CANCEL which looks similar to ACK for non 2xx final response is in
different transaction
(Keeping the of the contents of ACK and CANCEL.Agreeing form RFC lines
telling that both INVITE and ACK are in diffrent transaction)
