A 100 Trying received from who you just sent the INVITE request to is extremely likely to happen very quickly, since the UAS should be sending the 100 Trying on immediately receiving the INVITE request. Resetting the timer on the 100 Trying doesn't really offset the timer by much.

This doesn't make sense for a UA. We should reset it for any responses. By implementing this timer and calling it Timer C and not AstTimer Q we break the RFC any way. ;-)
