Re: [Sip] SIP backward compatibility issue



Early media was not specified in rfc2543. It did say that you should be prepared to receive media before receiving the answer, which is still the case for 3264. Another issue was that people used to put SDP in non-reliable 1xx responses, and then put the same thing in 2xx. That case is explicitly allowed for in 3261, so it should interoperate as well.

Perhaps you could identify the specific problem you are concerned about?

rfc3261 is sufficiently backwards compatible with rfc2543. There is no need to detect versions or anything. Any backwards compatibility functions are built into specific features of rfc3261 that needed to support backwards compatibility. If you just implement rfc3261 you will be backwards compatible.

broadening the discussion to rfc 3264 (offer/answer), isn't there a potential for backward compatibility issues with rfc 2543 implementations wrt early media ?

thx,
