Subject: [MMUSIC] Further Question to MIKEY embedding with kmgmt-ext.

Hi,

I've got another question to MIKEY usage. When a SIP dialog has been
established and further offer/answer messages are to be sent, does one need
to include MIKEY container when no changes to the established MIKEY
parameter are there?

regards
  Steffen
