Who should send such 180 prior to the 183? This is, if Alice calls Bob (who after so many calls already hates Alice) and Bob's phone is down, then provider would reply an early-media message "the person you are calling hates you and has switched off the phone". This audio would come into a 183. Why should be a 180 required before? Also, there are cases in which the PSTN gateways reply a 183 followed by a 180. This makes crazy some phones which don't know what to render (real audio of 183 or artificial ringing requested by the 180). -- Iñaki Baz Castillo <i...@aliax.net> _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list Sip-implementors@lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
