Description
Phone B sends a SIP INVITE request to Phone C. The request is an invitation to
User C to participate in a call session.
Phone C sends a SIP 100 Trying response to Phone B. The response indicates that
the INVITE request has been received.
Phone C sends a SIP 180 Ringing response to Phone B.
Phone C sends a SIP 200 OK response to Phone B. The response notifies Phone B
that the connection has been made.
If Phone B supports the media capability advertised in the INVITE message sent
by Phone A, it advertises the intersection of its own and Phone A's media
capability in the 200 OK response. If Phone B does not support the media
capability advertised by Phone A, it sends back a 400 Bad Request response with
a 304 Warning header field.
Phone B sends a SIP ACK to Phone C. The ACK confirms that Phone B has
received the 200 OK response from Phone C.
The ACK might contain a message body with the final session description to be
used by Phone C. If the message body of the ACK is empty, Phone C uses the
session description in the INVITE request.
Phone B sends a midcall INVITE to Phone A with new SDP session parameters
(IP address), which are used to place the call on hold.
