Difference between sip180 and sip183.

[Rafael Diego Farias de Oliveira]

Hello,

What is the sip180 and sip183 and what problems may occur due to these parameters.

I know sip180 is ringing and the 183 is the session progress and he carries the sdp.

I am with this question because I do not know that troubleshooting should do in order to identify problems regarding these parameters.

180 vs. 183 vs. Early Media

Discussion

If you know that the phone is ringing (an ALERT Q.931 message, for instance) you send a 180 Ringing.

If you receive a notification indicating that the call is progressing, but you do not know for sure whether the user is being alerted or not, you send a 183 Session Progress message.

Both can indicate early media with SDP. If there is no SDP, the end device (softphone/gateway/etc.) has to generate the ringback tone or progress tone.

Usually you will see 180 without SDP while 183 with SDP. It is a good practice to leave the tone generation for the endpoints.

If you get 183 you should open media connection because there is audio ready for them to hear.

If you set ringback var and ignore_early_media, both 180 and 183 will trigger your fake ringing. If you set instant_ringback=true then it will not wait for 18x it will start fake ringback instant (asterisk mode).
