Calling phone

The calling phone sends out an invite

The called phone sends an information response 100 � Trying � back.

When the called phone starts ringing a response 180 � Ringing � is sent back

When the caller picks up the phone, the called phone sends a response 200 � OK

The calling phone responds with ACK � acknowledgement

Now the actual conversation is transmitted as data via RTP

When the person calling hangs up, a BYE request is sent to the calling phone

The calling phone responds with a 200 � OK.

It�s as simple as that! The SIP protocol is easy to understand and logical.
