If the UAS sends a 2xx response to the re-INVITE I guess it really doesn't matter when the UPDATE was sent.

But, if the UAS sends a non-2xx response to the re-INVITE I guess it would need to know when the UPDATE was sent: was it sent still assuming that the re-INVITE will succeed, OR was it sent bacause the re-INVITE did NOT succeed?

If we would go for the non-rollback alternative we wouldn't have this problem since the re-INVITE failure response doesn't affect UPDATE/PRACK offer/answers, and then it doesn't matter when the UPDATE was sent.

Regards,

Christer
