SIP 302 Moved Temporarily vs 410 Gone

SIP 302 (Moved Temporarily) is a 3xx Redirection response, while 410 (Gone) is a 4xx Client Failure response. 302 indicates that the callee has temporarily moved to a different address. The client should retry the request at the Contact address but continue using the original URI for future requests. In contrast, 410 means that the requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known. This is expected to be a permanent condition.
