I am trying to understand how call waiting is done in SIP.

Assume the following scenario:

   A and B are already involved in a call.
   C calls B, and B has call waiting.
   B's phone supports call waiting and notifies B of the incoming call
from C.

   My question is the following: Will C get any indication that the call
to B is a call waiting call?

   Or, in other words, is there any standard way in SIP to indicate in
the backwards direction (from B to C) that the call is a call waiting
call?

I thing you could expect C to receive a 18x response. Most likely a 180, but conceivably B's phone might return a 182. Of course there also could be early media from B to C, but that would be strictly optional.


What the *user* of C gets a function of what B did and how it chooses to render that. There are no responses from B that C can interpret as unambiguously indicating call waiting.

I think what *I* would expect is simply that C would hear ringback.

   If there is no "standard" way, is there a "de facto standard"
convention that is used?

Thanks.
