VS: Teleco Integrators vs Web Developers vs Browser Implementers

Hi,

I am not going to jump into the SDP O/A discussion, but just to comment on PRANSWER.

PRANSWER tries to map multiple early SIP legs (in the case of forking) into a single "leg", but it does not work, at least not as currently defined, because it prevents the sending and receiving of additional offers while in the pranswer state.

People have said "Well, just don't use PRANSWER, and it works.". Well, while that is true, then the whole forking support goes away.

I have tried to explain this to some people (including Ekr) off-line in the past, but obviously I haven't done a good job, so I guess I'll have to try again :)

Regards,

Christer
