Call disconnection works differently for
H.323 and SIP calls due to differences
in the way the protocols work.
For H.323 calls, and interworked H.323 to SIP
calls, the Disconnect command will actually
disconnect the call.
For SIP to SIP calls, the Disconnect command
will cause the VCS to release all resources
used for the call and the call will appear on
the system as disconnected. However, SIP
calls are peer-to-peer and as a SIP proxy the
VCS has no authority over the endpoints.
Although releasing the resources may have
the side-effect of disconnecting the SIP call, it
is also possible that the call signaling, media
or both may stay up (depending on the type
of call being made). The call will not actually
disconnect until the SIP endpoints involved
have also cleared their resources.
