SDP can be passed in any 18x response, including 180.  But why would you
want to do that?  Don't confuse 180 and 183.  If you know the line is busy
use 180, than there is no reason for SDP.  If you are not sure what is going
on, but know there is some progress than use 183 with SDP.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] SDP in 180 response


I was wondering if there explicit guidelines on whether a SDP can be passed
in 180 responses? The only thing I came up with was:

21.1.2 180 Ringing

   The UA receiving the INVITE is trying to alert the user.  This
   response MAY be used to initiate local ringback.

21.1.5 183 Session Progress

   The 183 (Session Progress) response is used to convey information
   about the progress of the call that is not otherwise classified.  The
   Reason-Phrase, header fields, or message body MAY be used to convey
   more details about the call progress.

There is no reference to body content in the 180 response, while there is in
the 183 response. Some thoughts would be helpful.

thanks,
