About "rollback of re-Invite" - case with precondition and non-precondition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
 
Let's look into this precondition proposal.
 
There are some issues that needs to be taken into consideration.
 
Issue 1:
-----------
 
Assume I send a re-INVITE. I have two m- lines. For one of the m- line changes I use preconditions, and for the other m- line change I do NOT use preconditions.
 
Then I receive a relaible 18x, and the first offer/answer transaction has succeeded.
 
Then the re-INVITE fails. Now, according to the ZTE proposal, the precondition m- line is falled back to the value before the re-INVITE was changed. The non-precondition m- line is not falled back, however, since the change was comitted in the re-INVITE/18x o/a transaction.
 
So, we can NOT say that the whole SDP will be falled back to the state before the re-INVITE was sent. The precondition m- line is falled back, but the non-precondition m- line is NOT falled back.
 
Is that a correct understanding?
 
Regards,
 
Christer

Dear Elwell John

From SIP signal level, UPDATE transaction have nothing to do with Re-INVITE transaction. And the nested-transaction is the natural property of session modification, so the concept of nested-transaction is application level issue. And that's why I emphasize that we MUST open the door for evolution and extension in future.

1. Precondition uage
o Precondition defined in RFC3312(Quality-of-Service precondition)\4032(Precondition Framework)\5027(Security Preconditions) is a typical nested-transaction with clear semantics of suspending\resuming session modification.

o Another property of Re-INVITE is "late commitment of 200OK of Re-INVITE", which is defined in RFC3261 and emphasized again in RFC3311. And it is really necessary for user's rejecting of session modification.

Based on the two rule mentioned above, as precondition notification is part of the original modification triggered by Re-INVITE, the 2xx final response of Re-INVITE is the commitment and non-2xx final response is the rejecting. So, rollback for Re-INVITE is clear for precondition usage.

 
2. Non precondition usage
If the Offer  during(not in) the Re-INVITE, such as UPDATE , is a new modification request, then

o if the UA can accept the UPDATE, and after Offer/Answer, the modification MUST be committed.
o if the UA can not accept the UPDATE(for example, can not accept it without the user's permition), the UA MUST reject this UPDATE.

The proof of rule one is that: "We have no reason to say that the the new successful modification should be commited by the signal(2xx of Re-INVITE) associate to the original modification request(Re-INVITE). And in signal level, Re-INVITE and UPDATE is independent transaction(SIP). As the new modification commitment and its state have nothing to do whit final resopnse of Re-INVITE, the session state is clear." And I mentioned this in the draft.

I MUST point out that rule two is the way to get rid of a new modification while the orignal one in pending state. It is a choice, but not a constraint.

Re: About "rollback of re-Invite"





I haven't been following all of this discussion, but there is nothing explicitly to bind an UPDATE transaction to a parent INVITE or re-INVITE transaction. It is implicit in the vast majority of cases, but timing issues break this, particularly where unreliable transport is concerned. For example, if UPDATE arrives while awaiting ACK, is it because UPDATE was sent before the ACK, or because the ACK was lost? If UPDATE arrives before sending a final response to re-INVITE, is it because UPDATE is nested within the re-INVITE transaction, or has there been a CANCEL request that has been lost and will be repeated later? Without explicit binding, the only consistent thing to do is to treat each transaction separately, and not roll back. If this means pre-conditions are broken, the focus should be on fixing pre-conditions somehow.

Re: About "rollback of re-Invite"


Hi,

The key point of this discussion is how to find out the proper state of the rollback.
>
I think ,Some rules of using re-invite may be helpful.Such as, we restrict only
>one offer/answer pair in a re-invite,

 
I don't think we can do that, because at least some pre-condition scenarios require more offer/answer pairs.
 
And, even if you would only allow e.g. a single UPDATE within the re-INVITE, you would still have the same question: if the UPDATE suceeds, but the re-INVITE then fails, what is the state?
