<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=307081622-14082006>1) It sends RINGING
back to phone A before it has even sent an INVITE to phone B. Why does it do
that? How does it know phone B is available? If phone B is not available, it
should never send RINGING back to phone A.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=307081622-14082006>2) It sends the
INVITE to phone B. It then re-transmits the INVITE at least 3 times to phone B,
all the while sending RINGING back to phone A. It just ocurred to me that
Asterisk is using UDP for it's SIP messaging. This would explain why it doesn't
know that phone B is not available. If it was using TCP, it would receive an
instant connection failure, and would be able to stop sending RINGING to phone
B. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=307081622-14082006>So, now I am
wondering if anything can be done about this, given we're using
UDP?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
