A goal for SIP was to provide a superset of the call processing functions and features present in the public switched telephone network (PSTN). As such, features that permit familiar telephone-like operations are present: dialing a number, causing a phone to ring, hearing ringback tones or a busy signal. Implementation and terminology are different.
Does SIP reproduce the "Doot-doot-doot-We're sorry, the file you are downloading has been disconncted."?
