• The presence implementation is a little dubious, to say the least. It probably wants re-writing at some stage. However, this fixes a race condition that could have a number of causes in which the PUA is unaware of the eTag at the point it sends the PUBLISH.

The mechanism is such that the PUA passes the eTag that should be updated in the database into a main Kamailio process via a header in the PUBLISH. It is made aware of the new eTag by the main Kamailio process in the 200 OK.

In the scenario when the PUA has not received the 200 OK for the Trying PUBLISH before it sends the early PUBLISH, it will send the early PUBLISH with no eTag. This results in both Trying and early being inserted into the database. Only the early is updated, as it is the most recent, meaning the Trying will stick around in the table until it expires.
