SIP 100 Trying vs 406 Not Acceptable
SIP 100 (Trying) is a 1xx Provisional response, while 406 (Not Acceptable) is a 4xx Client Failure response. 100 indicates that the request has been received by the next-hop server and an unspecified action is being taken to process it. The UAC should expect additional responses. In contrast, 406 means that the resource identified by the request is only capable of generating responses with content characteristics not acceptable according to the Accept header.
