      no, you do not need to create the INVITE trasaction in advance -
      do it as usually : at the end, on t_relay(). Because if the INVITE

                <br>
                According to RFC3261, the CANCEL processing (as
                cancelling the call) is not up to a proxy, but up to the
                end devices. So a proxy has to simply relay all received
                info (INVITE and CANCEL) - it cannot terminate the call
                by itself.<br>
                <br>
                So you have to relay both INVITE and CANCEL and let the
                end device to reject the call.<br>
                <br>
                Regarding Flavio&#39;s suggestion - that function (as name
                says) solves the problem only for the flags, but not for
                changes as headers or SDP, AVPS, etc.<br>

                              If CANCEL hits opensips while the the

                              different process), the INVITE transaction

                              more or less the CANCEL will be dropped
