Re: [reSIProcate] UA "486 Busy Here" & ACK in case of SIP-Proxy


An ACK to a failure response is handled hop by hop rather than end to
end. Look at section 17.1.1 (INVITE Client Transaction).  In your demo
UA it sounds like the behavior is correct. Your demo UA will not see
the ACK message in the application since the ACK will be received by
the transaction layer of the stack.
