This is what I had in mind. I don't think I end up in failure route if
one branch is answered. My Question was, how to handle the canceled
branch.

Do branches that get cancelled due to another branch answering the
call go through the branch failure route?

> Also in the case of parallel forking, if via-branch is not give to rtpengine offer command, does the 2nd (and the next) rtpengine offer command overwrite the previous one, so the rtpengine keeps only the data from the last one?

We stumbled upon this problem only because we used rtpengine without
the branch parameter. And what we saw was that the second
rtpengine_offer overwrote the first one, making the first branch
impossible to be answered in certain scenarios.

Regards and thanks for all the answers so far.
