- Before proceeding with session establishment, UE2 waits for two events. First, the resource reservation initiated in step #4 must complete successfully. Second, the resource reservation initiated by the originating endpoint must complete successfully (which is indicated by message UPDATE received by UE1). UE2 may now alert the destination subscriber of an incoming session attempt; it indicates this to the calling party by a 180 Ringing provisional response sent to P-CSCF2.

- Record-Route: P-CSCF2 rewrites the Record-Route header field value to remove the port number and the comp=sigcomp parameter from its own entry.

- Record-Route: P-CSCF1 rewrites the Record-Route header to add the comp=sigcomp parameter to its own SIP URI and its port number negotiated during the security agreement.

- When the called party answers, UE2 sends a 200 OK final response to the INVITE request to P-CSCF2, and starts the media flow(s) for this session.
- P-CSCF2 approves the commitment of the QoS resources if it was not approved yet.
