Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All IBM Websphere Application Server V8.0   *
  *                  and V8.5 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)  *
  *                  users                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The SIP Container doesn't prevent       *
  *                      an application from reproxying when     *
  *                      it gets a 6xx or 2xx response (JSR      *
  *                      289 section 10.2.4).                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  In BranchManager & ProxyBranchImpl, 2xx/6xx response was sent
  to the application as a branch response.
  

Problem conclusion

• In BranchManager & ProxyBranchImpl, 2xx/6xx response is now
  treated as the best reponse (without sending it as branch
  reponse to the application).
  In addition in order to enable the fix, the following custom
  property should be added in the administrative console (like
  any other SIP Container custom property) and set to 'true':
  'treat.2xx.6xx.as.best.response'.
  The default value of this property is 'false'.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.7 and 8.5.0.2.  Please refer to the
