What is a provisional response?
Provisional responses provide information on the progress of the request processing, but are not sent reliably in RFC 3261. It was later observed that reliability was important in several cases, including interoperability scenarios with the PSTN.
What is reliable provisional response?
Reliable provisional responses are retransmitted by the TU with an exponential backoff. Those retransmissions cease when a PRACK message is received. The PRACK request plays the same role as ACK, but for provisional responses. There is an important difference, however. PRACK is a normal SIP message, like BYE.

What is SIP rfc3261?

These sessions include Internet telephone calls, multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences.
What is 100rel in SIP?
Cisco Unified Border Element (SP Edition) provides support for 100rel (SIP Provisional Message Reliability) interworking. The 100rel option is used to indicate that the reliable provisional responses are supported or required, and the PRACK message is used to acknowledge receipt of a reliable provisional response.
What is CSeq?
CSeq. The CSeq header field is a required header field in every request. It contains a decimal number that increases for each request. Usually, it increases by 1 for each new request, with the exception of CANCEL and ACK requests, which use the CSeq number of the INVITE request to which it refers.
What is 100rel?
The 100rel option is used to indicate that the reliable provisional responses are supported or required, and the PRACK message is used to acknowledge receipt of a reliable provisional response. Note This feature is supported in the unified model for Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5 and later.
What are the mandatory header in SIP?
The Call-ID header field is mandatory in all SIP requests and responses. It is used to uniquely identify a call between two user agents. A Call-ID must be unique across calls. All registrations for a user agent should use the same Call-ID.
What are the SIP cause codes?

- 5xx is a ‘Server Error’
- 6xx is a ‘Global Failure’
How is the 100 ( trying ) response different from other provisional responses?
The 100 (Trying) response is different from other provisional responses, in that it is never forwarded upstream by a stateful proxy. The UA receiving the INVITE is trying to alert the user. This response MAY be used to initiate local ringback.
What does provisional / informational responses-tutorialspoint mean?
It gives the status of the caller, as a forwarding operation may result in the call taking longer to be answered. This response is used to indicate that the INVITE has been received and will be processed in a queue. It indicates that information about the progress of a session may be present in a message body or media stream.
What’s the difference between a 183 and 100 trying responses?
Unlike a 100 Trying response, a 183 is an end-to-end response. It establishes early dialog. A typical use of this response is to allow a UAC to hear a ringtone recorded announcement in calls through a gateway into the PSTN.
