SIP 100 Trying vs 401 Unauthorized
SIP 100 (Trying) is a 1xx Provisional response, while 401 (Unauthorized) 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, 401 means that the request requires user authentication. The response includes a WWW-Authenticate header with a challenge for the realm.
