RE: [Sip] Questions on Max-Forwards

["Krishna, Samaga" <samaga.krishna@intel.com>]

Hi Loh,
 If proxy receives a request with Max-Forward : 1, the proxy will decrement
the count and forward the message.
If proxy receives the request with Max-Forward: 0, it should not forward the
request. It shall send 483 response. If the request is for OPTIONS, proxy
will act as final recipient and respond to it as in the RFC 3261 section 11.


have a nice day

Subject: [Sip] Questions on Max-Forwards


Dear all,

If a valid SIP message with "Max-Forwards: 1" is received by a proxy, should

the proxy decrement Max-Forwards and forward it, or should it respond with
483?

Likewise, how should the proxy handle a message with with Max-Forwards: 0 
or a negative value?

regards,
KJ Loh
