[OpenSIPS-Users] [OpenSIPS-Devel] [RELEASES] Planing OpenSIPS 1.9.0 major release

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Dan,

Well, as Ovidiu said, it is prone. BUT, this is not something particular 
to re-INVITE, but to whatever in-dialog pinging you may have from a 
mid-proxy.

On the other hand, as Ryan pointed out here, the need to check the 
dialog health from proxy side, without relying on special end-UA 
features (like SST), is really critical.

So, I see two approaches:
     1) either simply live with the fact that races may occure and calls 
may be dropped during a re-INVITE, but at least is a clear drop /cut
     2) theoretically we can try to address the race at dialog modules 
level : (a) If you have ongoing in-dialog transaction, do not do your 
ping , (b) if you have an ongoing in-dialog ping and receive another 
in-dilog request from end point, try to delay it until your pinging is 
done.....just some ideas....

If any of the clients send a re-INVIVITE of their own while OpenSIPs does it's pinging, it will fail as there is already an active unanswered re-INVITE in progress. The client will be confused as it didn't send another re-INVITE itself and the negative reply to its own re-INVITE will probably just prompt the client to terminate the session thinking there is some issue with it.
