SIP response codes

 

SIP response codes

SIP/2.0 allows six values for the first digit:

From the SIP Rfc:

The response codes are consistent with, and extend, HTTP/1.1 response codes. Not all HTTP/1.1 response
codes are appropriate, and only those that are appropriate are given here. Other HTTP/1.1 response codes
SHOULD NOT be used. Also, SIP defines a new class, 6xx.

 

1xx: Provisional ¡ª request received, continuing to process the request;
Provisional responses, also known as informational responses, indicate that the server contacted is performing some further action and does not yet have a definitive response. A server sends a 1xx response if it expects to take more than 200 ms to obtain a final response. Note that 1xx responses are not transmitted reliably. They never cause the client to send an ACK. Provisional (1xx) responses MAY contain message bodies, including session descriptions.
2xx: Success ¡ª the action was successfully received, understood, and accepted;
3xx: Redirection ¡ª further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request;
4xx: Client Error ¡ª the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled at this server;
5xx: Server Error ¡ª the server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request;
6xx: Global Failure ¡ª the request cannot be fulfilled at any server.
