SIP 100 Trying vs 400 Bad Request
SIP 100 (Trying) is a 1xx Provisional response, while 400 (Bad Request) 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, 400 means that the request could not be understood due to malformed syntax. The client should not repeat the request without modifications.
