Description:From RFC 3398:

 ISUP Cause value                        SIP response
 ----------------                        ------------
 1  unallocated number                   404 Not Found
 2  no route to network                  404 Not found
 3  no route to destination              404 Not found

But if Asterisk does:

 exten => XXX,1,Dial(SIP/non_existing_peer)

it replies:

 SIP/2.0 503 Service Unavailable
 ...
 X-Asterisk-HangupCause: No route to destination
 X-Asterisk-HangupCauseCode: 3

Why not a 404 as RFC 3398 suggests?

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

Of course I can set manually the SIP response code with:
 Hangup(ISUP_CODE)

but why Asterisk is not more RFC compliant in this subject?

chan_sip does correctly map that cause code to 404 Not Found. What I suspect is happening is that Congestion is being called on the channel which causes the 503 Service Unavailable to be sent back. Please attack a complete console output to confirm this.

Is it enough with this CLI output?:

That auto fallthrough will call Congestion on the channel and send 503 Service Unavailable.

but is it the expected or the correct behaviour? is it a bug?

By: Joshua C. Colp (jcolp) 2008-06-10 08:14:30

If Congestion is called on a channel, what do you expect it to do? For me I expect it to send back Congestion.

By: Iñaki Baz Castillo (ibc) 2008-06-10 08:54:10

Yes, maybe it's a limitation/issue in 'autofallthrough'.

By: Michiel van Baak (mvanbaak) 2008-06-14 05:05:48

This is expected behaviour.
Have a look at the default stdexten macro. It will act based on dialstatus and not auto-fallthrough
