Description
Phone A sends a SIP INVITE request to Phone B. The request is an invitation to
User B to participate in a call session. In the INVITE request:
•
The phone number of User B is inserted in the Request-URI field in the form
of a SIP URL. The SIP URL identifies the address of User B and takes a form
similar to an e-mail address (user@host, where user is the telephone number
and host is either a domain name or a numeric network address). For example,
the Request-URI field in the INVITE request to User B appears as "INVITE
sip:555-0199@companyb.com; user=phone." The "user=phone" parameter
distinquishes that the Request-URI address is a telephone number rather than
a username.
Phone A is identified as the call session initiator in the From field.
•
•
A unique numeric identifier is assigned to the call and is inserted in the
Call-ID field.
The transaction number within a single call leg is identified in the CSeq field.
•
The media capability User A is ready to receive is specified.
•
Phone B sends a SIP 100 Trying response to Phone A. The response indicates that
the INVITE request has been received.
