481 Call/Transaction Does Not Exist

The UAS received a request that does not match any existing dialog or transaction. The call state may have been lost.

When You See This Code

When sending a BYE, re-INVITE, or UPDATE for a call that the server has no record of. Common after server restarts.

How to Fix

The dialog has been lost. Terminate the local call state. For re-INVITE failures, re-establish the call from scratch.
