[SIPForum-discussion] Why ACK is separate transaction for INVITE

[Ravikannan Alagarsamy]

Hi,

Hope you know that for every new transaction Cseq should increment if it is
not increment means that should be same transaction(non-successful call).

So as per 3-way handshake policy once it gets 200ok response it sent ACK
with increment Cseq id and it is separate transaction. if it is not
incremented means the call is not successful we are sending ACK for some
error message.

Thanks
Ravi
