SIP 182 Queued vs 405 Method Not Allowed
SIP 182 (Queued) is a 1xx Provisional response, while 405 (Method Not Allowed) is a 4xx Client Failure response. 182 indicates that the called party is temporarily unavailable but the server has decided to queue the call rather than reject it. The call will be attempted when the callee becomes available. In contrast, 405 means that the method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the address identified by the Request-URI.
Description
The called party is temporarily unavailable but the server has decided to queue the call rather than reject it. The call will be attempted when the callee becomes available.
When You See It
In call center or queuing scenarios where the callee is busy but the system holds the call in a queue.
How to Fix
Wait for the call to be dequeued. If queuing is not desired, configure the server to reject calls instead of queuing them.

When You See It
