SIP 100 Trying vs 404 Not Found
SIP 100 (Trying) is a 1xx Provisional response, while 404 (Not Found) 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, 404 means that the user specified in the Request-URI does not exist at the domain. The server has authoritative information that the user does not exist.
Description
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.
Quand vous le voyez
Immediately after sending an INVITE. The proxy has received the call and is searching for the callee. This is the SIP equivalent of a dial tone.

No fix needed — this is normal call setup behavior. If stuck on 100 Trying for too long, check network connectivity and proxy configuration.
