/**
* A dialog represents a peer-to-peer SIP relationship between two user agents
* that persists for some time. Dialogs are typically used by user agents to
* facilitate management of state. Dialogs are typically not relevant to proxy
* servers. The dialog facilitates sequencing of messages between the user
* agents and proper routing of requests between both of them. The dialog
* represents a context in which to interpret SIP Transactions and Messages.
* However, a Dialog is not necessary for message processing.
*
* A dialog is identified at each User Agent with a dialog Id, which consists of
* a Call-Id value, a local tag and a remote tag. The dialog Id at each User
* Agent involved in the dialog is not the same. Specifically, the local tag at
* one User Agent is identical to the remote tag at the peer User Agent. The
* tags are opaque tokens that facilitate the generation of unique dialog Ids.
*
* A dialog contains certain pieces of data needed for further message
* transmissions within the dialog. This data consists of:
*
* - Dialog Id - used to identify the dialog.
*
- Local sequence number - used to order requests from the User Agent to
* its peer.
*
- Remote sequence number - used to order requests from its peer to the
* User Agent.
*
- Local URI - the address of the local party.
*
- Remote URI - the address of the remote party.
*
- Remote target - the address from the Contact header field of the request
* or response or refresh request or response.
*
- "secure" boolean - determines if the dialog is secure i.e. use the
* sips: scheme.
*
- Route set - an ordered list of URIs. The route set is the list of
* servers that need to be traversed to send a request to the peer.
*
* A dialog also has its own state machine, the current {@link DialogState} is
* determined by the sequence of messages that occur on the initial dialog.
*
* Invite Dialog States:
* Null --> Early --> Confirmed --> Terminated
*
* Other Dialog-creating Requests
* Dialog States (ie. SUBSCRIBE):
* Null --> Confirmed --> Terminated.
*
* The Listener MUST ACK the 2xx response associated with an INVITE dialog.
* Retransmissions of the ACK in response to subsequent INVITE requests are
* handled by the dialog layer. If a listener does not ACK a 2XX response
* immediately, the implementation will terminate the Dialog automatically and
* remove it from the stack when the listener completes its execution.
*
* The dialog layer MUST respond with an automatic error response when RFC3261 specifies that the User
* Agent MUST respond with a certain error. This does not apply for successful
* responses like 200 OK. The error condition relates directly to the dialog
* layer and the SipListener can add no meaningful information to the response.
* Such a response can be constructed and sent entirely by the dialog layer on
* behalf of the SipListener. Under such circumstances, it makes sense to let
* the dialog support handle the response and not bother the SipListener with
* it. The SipListener will not be notified with the RequestEvent upon which the
* Response was sent on its behalf by the Dialog layer. However, if no Dialog is
* registered for the transaction either automatically or under application
* control, then the SipListener is expected to generate and send the
* appropriate (error) response.
*
*
* For example: In RFC3261 Chapter 14 a User Agent
* Server that receives a second INVITE before it sends the final response to a
* first INVITE with a lower CSeq sequence number on the same dialog MUST return
* a 500 (Server Internal Error) response to the second INVITE and MUST include
* a Retry-After header field with a randomly chosen value of between 0 and 10
* seconds.
*
* In this release of this specification, the implementation handles retransmissions of
* Responses that are specified as being handled by the UA core, if there is an
* associated Dialog for a given transaction.
* If there is no associated Dialog for a given transaction, the application
* will be alerted to perform the retransmissions required by the UA core if
* desired. Applications should explicitly request such alerts see
* {@link ServerTransaction#enableRetransmissionAlerts()}. Once enabled the
* SipProvider will deliver retransmission timer
* events to the Listener with a {@link Timeout#RETRANSMIT} notification. The
* SipListener can then retransmit the Response as necessary, see
* {@link SipListener#processTimeout(TimeoutEvent)}.
*
* For INVITE Client Transactions:
*
* - UAC ACKs first 2xx response
* - Additional 2xx responses will be ACKed automatically if a Dialog is
* asssociated with the response
* - Additional 2xx responses will be presented to the listener if no dialog
* is associated with the response. In such a case the listener is expected to
* ACK the 2xx response.
*
*
* For INVITE Server Transaction 2xx response:
*
* - Application sends first 2xx response {@link ServerTransaction#sendResponse(Response)}.
*
- If a Dialog is not associated with a ServerTransaction, and if the
* application explicitly requests to be notified of such timeouts (see
* {@link ServerTransaction#enableRetransmissionAlerts()} the SipListener is
* periodically alerted to retransmit 2xx responses for the ServerTransaction.
* - If a Dialog is associated with a ServerTransaction then the
* implementation takes care of retransmitting final responses until the ACK is
* received i.e. the SipListener will receive no notifications to retransmit
* responses.
*
*
* For an INVITE server Transaction 300-699 response:
*
* - Either the application or the dialog layer sends the first response
*
- Retransmissions of 300-699 responses from the INVITE Server Transaction
* are handled by the transaction layer independent of existence of an
* associated Dialog.
*
*
* Because reliable provisional responses are always sent by the Dialog layer,
* the Dialog layer takes care of retrasmitting these. The application is never
* alerted for retransmissions of Reliable Provisional responses:
*
* - The application sends a reliable provisional Response to an Invite
* Dialog using {@link javax.sip.Dialog#sendReliableProvisionalResponse(Response) }
*
- The Stack takes care of retransmitting the provisional response with
* exponentially increasing intervals until a PRACK is received or the
* Transaction times out.
*
*
* Processing Forking INVITES:
*
* Multiple 2xx responses may arrive at the UAC for a single INVITE request due
* to a forking proxy. Each response is distinguished by the tag parameter in
* the TO header field, and each represents a distinct Dialog, with a distinct
* Dialog identifier. In this case the first 2xx terminates the original INVITE
* additional 2xx responses will be presented to the SipListener as a ResponseEvent
* with null Client Transaction ID but with a valid and distinct Dialog. The
* Listener is expected to ACK the 2xx response - otherwise the Dialog is
* terminated after a timeout period. Note that unless automatic dialog creation
* is explictly disabled, the 2xx ResponseEvent will always contain a Dialog whether
* or not the outgoing INVITE was sent through a ClientTransaction or statelessly
* via a SipProvider.
