Payload data is referring to the body of the SIP request or response. It is completely arbitrary and can consist of anything. It's similar to the body of an HTTP request.

The most common payload you will see on SIP messages are Session Description Protocol (SDP) offers and answers. They use a Content-Type of application/sdp are are text based payloads.
