RE: [rtcweb] Single offer with multiple answer handling in JSEP [was RE: New JSEP draft posted]

Hi,

I can of course only speak for myself, but in all my years of working with SIP systems I have never encountered a use case where multiple 200 responses would have to be accepted. In most cases the first 2xx will be accepted, and any subsequent 2xx will be ACKed+ BYEed.

However, from a browser perspective I don't think it matters whether the answers are received in 18x responses or 2xx responses. The fact is that multiple answers may be received, and the browser needs to be able to handle that. 

And, it seems like people agree that a new answer would replace the old one, as also suggested by Justin below.

And, IF someone wants to establish simultanous dialogs with multiple remote entities, in my opinion it would then be better to e.g. create multiple PeerConnections (one for each remote entity), or something like that.

Regards,

Christer

I'm most interested in real world use cases which if they were being done with SIP would result in multiple 200 being processed by the browser. I have not got my head around why this would be needed yet and without the use cases I'm having a hard time deciding if there is a problem or not.
