[SIPForum-discussion] Query related to Basic SIP call

[XIAO Xiaohong]

The Via header field tells other elements where to send the response, the Contact header field tells other elements where to send
   future requests.
 
So  180 ringing response is sent back to the address in Via header of Invite.

Hi,

Contact Header is mandatory in INVITE request too.

Kind regards,

	Hi All,
	 
	As per RFC 3261, 
	Via, To, From, C-seq, Call-id, Max-Forwards are the only mandatory headers in an Invite request
	But we still add Contact Header  to know the actual address of UAC
	 
	Suppose, in an Invite request there is no contact header, 
	so when Proxy receives 180 ringing response, how it will forward that response to UAC  who initiated the Invite.
	 
	Thanks in advance
	 
	Regards
	Gaurav
