This feature enables the flexibility of ignoring a new SDP re-offer (from the media negotiation perspective) in certain scenarios (such as session expires). According to RFC 3264, once an SDP session is established, a new SDP offer is considered a new offer only when the SDP origin value is incremented. In scenarios such as session expires, SDP negotiation is irrelevant and thus, the origin field is not changed.

Even though some SIP devices don’t follow this behavior and don’t increment the origin value even in scenarios where they want to re-negotiate, the device up till now re-negotiated regardless of the origin field value. Since this caused problems in certain scenarios, this feature resolves this by assuming that the remote party operates according to RFC 3264, and in cases where the origin field is not incremented, the device does not re-negotiate SDP capabilities.

This feature offers the following options:

•The device negotiates any new SDP re-offer, regardless of the origin field (default).

•The device negotiates only an SDP re-offer with an incremented origin field. This feature is configured using the new parameter, EnableSDPVersionNegotiation.
