You now seem to be suggesting that an SDP answer can be transported unreliably. I strongly disagree to such statement.

A copy of the SDP answer can be sent unreliably, and the UAC can use it, but the "real" SDP answer must still be sent reliably.

Maybe "ignore" is the wrong wording. The UAC cannot ignore the fact that the reliable response contains the SDP answer, because THAT SDP finishes the offer/answer transaction, but it does not need to parse it.

Christer
