2008-01-10 10:57:53 ip1 ip2 CANCEL sip:number at ip2 SIP/2.0. 
2008-01-10 10:57:53 ip2 ip1 SIP/2.0 200 OK. CSeq: 102 CANCEL.
2008-01-10 10:57:57 ip1 ip2 CANCEL sip:number at ip2 SIP/2.0. 
2008-01-10 10:57:57 ip2 ip1 SIP/2.0 200 OK. CSeq: 102 CANCEL.
2008-01-10 10:58:01 ip1 ip2 CANCEL sip:number at ip2 SIP/2.0. 
2008-01-10 10:58:01 ip2 ip1 SIP/2.0 200 OK. CSeq: 102 CANCEL.
2008-01-10 10:58:05 ip1 ip2 CANCEL sip:number at ip2 SIP/2.0. 
2008-01-10 10:58:05 ip2 ip1 SIP/2.0 200 OK. CSeq: 102 CANCEL.

so we want to cancel after we received the 180 ringing from ip2. But while
we send the first cancel (sending this cancel is correct) the ip2 accepts
the call (200 ok). Now we have a strange situation. Asterisk confirms the
200 ok for the invite with an ACK, then imidiatly sends a BYE request. The
ip2 accepts the bye with a 200 ok, great.

Now the strange things:
ip2 sends 481 Call/Transaction Does Not Exist. for the cancel request. I
don't know how good is this message, but this is not the issue.

After the ip2 sends the 200 ok for the bye we resend the cancel. I
understand asterisk sees no 200 ok for the cancel and it resends it after
exactly 1 second, a normal packet retransmision, BUT it shouldn't. In this
case the 200 ok that accepts the invite, or at least the 200 ok for the bye
should block the sending, retransmision of the cancel packet.

Because: (sip RFC 3261)
page 42:
"Once the CANCEL is constructed, the client SHOULD check whether it has
received any response (provisional
or final) for the request being cancelled (herein referred to as the
“original request”).
If no provisional response has been received, the CANCEL request MUST NOT
be sent; rather, the client
MUST wait for the arrival of a provisional response before sending the
request. If the original request has
generated a final response, the CANCEL SHOULD NOT be sent, as it is an
effective no-op, since CANCEL
has no effect on requests that have already generated a final response."

But anyway after the second cancel we receive a 200 ok message
acknowlegeing the cancel so the cancel retransmition should be stoped at
least at this point.

But no the rettransmission continues another 5 times (I think until it
reaches max_retrans for the packet).
