From O-TAS the SIP INVITE is sent back to the S-CSCF of the
originator. The S-CSCF finds a routing to the network of the
recipient (e.g. with help of DNS or ENUM). In our case
(recipient is registered in IMS) S-CSCF forwards the message
to I-CSCF in the terminating network.
I-CSCF will locate the S-CSCF which handles the context for
the recipient. S-CSCF triggers T-TAS for terminating services
(e.g. Incoming Call Barring, Call Forwading, etc.)

In order to establish the media path the body of the SIP INVITE
and other signaling messages carries Session Description

SDP Exchange
Later when one of the call parties wants to close the RTP
stream (hang-up), the client sends a SIP BYE message. After
the 200 OK response the session is finished.

In your example of SDP message, the media path will use IP address
223.112.161.118 and ports 23448. Does this mean that if I do a packet capture
on the RTP stream, will the same address and port be visible as either a Source
Address or Destination Address?
Thanks!

Hi Lan,
yes, that is correct observations, IP addresses and ports from SDP will
appear in packet capture as sourse or destination addresses (and vice
versa).
Kind Regards,
Karel.
