Just to add,
Call-ID - For a dialog,  i.e., INVITE, PRACK, ACK, BYE all have same
call-ID.
Via header branch parameter - per transaction.
i.e.,  a INVITE, its 100 Trying, 180 Ringing, its 200 OK is same (1)
ACK is different(2), PRACK and its 200 OK is different(3), BYE is
different (4) all of which
can be for the same dialog.

Please Read RFC3261 - for more info.
