In that case can someone explain me what "cause" I need to put when using a 
Reason header in an initial Request e.g. an initial INVITE ?

As far as I understood from RFC3326 is one of the goals of the Reason header to 
include a Reason why a particular Request is being sent. 

Many thanks

Hi,

I believe protocol-cause must exist, since the code carries both for SIP status 
codes, and Q.850 codes. As in the code will represent the correct status 
code/cause value.
