[SIPForum-discussion] No Ring Back Tone Issue

Hi, all

I have a question about early media.

As Cliff has mentioned, 183 is sent by GW for early media establishment. My
question is ,if the 183 is not sent back by the GW, could early media such
as "The number you have dialed is not connected" be sent to the caller?

Because I think when the caller sent the Invite, it will hase SDP which
indicate the RTP address and port, the GW just sent the early media to this
address/port. Is this possible?
