Hi all,  

Is there any provision in SIP to take care of the timeout in holding condition ?

Consider a situation: 

ua-A  establishes a SIP session with ua-B.
After some time ua-B requests for a hold by using INVITE method.
ua-A goes into "hold" state and waits for ua-B to resume. 

If now network goes down at ua-B, and he disconnects without sending any more SIP messages,
how ua-A will come to know about it.

Is there a mechanism for determining timeout value for ua-A, so that he wont wait forever.

Regards,

-Nagaraj.
