SIP 180 Ringing vs 580 Precondition Failure
SIP 180 (Ringing) is a 1xx Provisional response, while 580 (Precondition Failure) is a 5xx Server Failure response. 180 indicates that the UA receiving the INVITE is trying to alert the user. This response is used to initiate local ringback tone at the caller's end. In contrast, 580 means that the server is unable or unwilling to meet some of the preconditions specified in the request for resource reservation.
Description
The UA receiving the INVITE is trying to alert the user. This response is used to initiate local ringback tone at the caller's end.
Quand vous le voyez
During call setup when the callee's phone is ringing. You should hear a ringback tone after receiving this response.

No fix needed — the callee's device is ringing. If the call never connects after ringing, check the callee's device or call forwarding settings.

Quand vous le voyez
When using QoS preconditions (RFC 3312) and the network cannot guarantee the required quality of service for the media session.

Relax the precondition requirements or ensure the network path supports the required QoS. Consider removing precondition requirements for best-effort calls.
