SIP 204 No Notification vs 407 Proxy Authentication Required

SIP 204 (No Notification) is a 2xx Success response, while 407 (Proxy Authentication Required) is a 4xx Client Failure response. 204 indicates that the request was successful but the server has decided not to send a NOTIFY for this SUBSCRIBE request. In contrast, 407 means that the client must first authenticate with the proxy. The proxy returns a Proxy-Authenticate header with a challenge.
