[SIPForum-discussion] HELP

[Ashish Umrani]

I dont know if anybody answered to your satisfaction.  here is my attempt.
Mine is purely english based and less technical yet its the same that SIP
has applied.


Assume that Ganesh wants to talk to Ashish and we have a proxy in between.
I am describing how will this complete process go through.

Ganesh will start talking to proxy (not knowing ashish's ip proxy, is the
only way left to Ganesh for this purpose).
Ganesh tells proxy that he wants to talk to Ashish.
Proxy tells ganesh that "Hang on! let me see what I can do"

Proxy then tries to contact Ashish, stating that Ganesh wants to talk to
Ashish (messages are sent to all known locations for Ashish)
Ashish says "Ok I am ready"

Proxy tells Ganesh, where about of Ashish
Ganesh and Ashish both start talking

After 5 minutes if happy talk, Ashish says Bye and tells proxy that he is
done with conversation.
Proxy then tell Ganesh that Ashish has ended conversation
The call ends


In the above mentioned scenario, the first three sentences represent a
dialog between Ganesh and proxy.
Complete conversation between Ganesh and Proxy is the session between Ganesh
and Proxy
Similarly next two sentences represent Dialog between Proxy and Ashish
Complete conversation between Ashih and Proxy is another session

I am not 100% sure about transaction and wont like to misguide you.

Ashish
