Re: [Linphone-developers] sdp in re-invite rfc 3261 14.1. Current support/intentions?

[Dave Harley]

Hi Simon, 

I managed to get a test preformed using the latest version of Linphone for windows (3.1.2).
Hopefully this is up to date enough. 

Scenario:
1st test.
1) Linphone calls an analogue extension which is connected to a Mitel PABX. 
2) Call is established.
3) Analogue extension tries to go on hold. 
4) Analogue extension tries to retrieve call from hold.
5) Call is terminated ( actually not sure which end hangs up but its not important).

2nd test is the exact same with the exception that the call is made from a xlite client.

Attached are wireshark pcap traces of the sip transfer for each test and the debug trace produced by the Linphone client.

In the Linphone test the interesting bit is that Linphone issue's a 603 decline to the bodyless (re-)invite which is received after the dialog has been established. 
In the 2nd test the xlite response to the same packet  is 200 Ok with an SDP body attached, which is acked with an SDP body ( including the hold indication) by the Mitel.   

The other interesting thing is that the Linphone test shows no indication of a off hold event, which makes sense cause it never went on hold in the first place I guess. 
The xlite does see the off hold (re-)invite.  However in this case the invite does have a body.  Screwy pabx!  

>From my reading of 3216 sec 14.1 I would think that xlite is more compliant, but I suppose I would say that. Certainly from an interop point of view it would be nice if Linphone handled the interaction similarly.  
I'm sure like all RFC's its open to interpretation and the xlite/Mitel interpretation might not match your own views.  

I'd be grateful if you could let me know your analysis.  If there is any further testing I can do let me know and I'll do by best.

Best regards, 
Dave.  

 

The results are as follows:
