Summary:
This draft is ready to be published as Standards Track RFC, but I have some 
comments.

Nits/editorial comments:
- Abstract Suggestion to spell out SIP and B2BUA (Back-to-Back User Agent).
Also not clear in abstract and in section 1 if hop by hop traceroute for SIP 
means sequence of B2BUAs. The analogy to IP traceroute is good but it would be 
better to clarify the difference with SIP traceroute. Please take a look at 
this.

-[Page 3] "be used to directly to test"---->"be used directly to test"

-[Page 4]  Section 3.1 references to RFC3261, which is not listed in the 
references section. Also it would be preferable to cite this RFC the first time 
Max-Forwards header field  is mentioned on Section 1.

-[Page 6] [draft-loop-detection] does not refer to the latest version (to be 
replaced by RFC number since it is in RFC queue?).

-Just wondering if the proposed mechanism does not violate Section 8.1.1.6 of 
RFC3261
"
   A UAC MUST insert a Max-Forwards header field into each request it
   originates with a value that SHOULD be 70.  This number was chosen to
   be sufficiently large to guarantee that a request would not be
   dropped in any SIP network when there were no loops, but not so large
   as to consume proxy resources when a loop does occur.  **Lower values
   should be used with caution and only in networks where topologies are
   known by the UA.**
