SIP 100 Trying vs 502 Bad Gateway
SIP 100 (Trying) is a 1xx Provisional response, while 502 (Bad Gateway) is a 5xx Server 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, 502 means that the server, acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from a downstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request.
