<moved to SIP Implementors> Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for questions on current sip
There is no "maximum" size for SIP headers. I have seen examples that far exceed the sizes listed below. Any SIP implementation really needs to be able to handle headers of arbitrary lengths. Fixed length buffers for this data is not a wise approach. If you are looking for "typical" messages, I suggest you look at: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sipping-call-flows-00.txt cheers, (-:bob Robert F.
