3. SIP Session Establishment
This section details session establishment between two SIP User Agents (UAs): Alice and Bob. Alice (sip:alice@atlanta.example.com) and Bob (sip:bob@biloxi.example.com) are assumed to be SIP phones or SIP-enabled devices. The successful calls show the initial signaling, the exchange of media information in the form of SDP payloads, the establishment of the media session, then finally the termination of the call. HTTP Digest authentication is used by Proxy Servers to authenticate the caller Alice. It is assumed that Bob has registered with Proxy Server Proxy 2 as per Section 2 to be able to receive the calls via the Proxy.3.1. Successful Session Establishment

The initial INVITE (F1) contains a pre-loaded Route header with the address of Proxy 1 (Proxy 1 is configured as a default outbound proxy for Alice). The request does not contain the Authorization credentials Proxy 1 requires, so a 407 Proxy Authorization response is sent containing the challenge information. A new INVITE (F4) is then sent containing the correct credentials and the call proceeds. The call terminates when Bob disconnects by initiating a BYE message.
Proxy 1 inserts a Record-Route header into the INVITE message to
ensure that it is present in all subsequent message exchanges. Proxy
2 also inserts itself into the Record-Route header. The ACK (F15)
and BYE (F18) both have a Route header.

Alice has valid credentials in both domains. Since the initial INVITE (F1) does not contain the Authorization credentials Proxy 1 requires, so a 407 Proxy Authorization response is sent containing the challenge information. A new INVITE (F4) is
then sent containing the correct credentials and the call proceeds
after Proxy 2 challenges and receives valid credentials. The call
terminates when Bob disconnects by initiating a BYE message.
Proxy 1 inserts a Record-Route header into the INVITE message to
ensure that it is present in all subsequent message exchanges. Proxy
2 also inserts itself into the Record-Route header.
