Hi Holger,

MESSAGE request size may grow beyond 1300 bytes en-route to UAS, but UAC
must ensure that it doesn't send a request that is more than 1300 bytes.
1300 is taken from hop-to-hop transport layer requirement, but in the
case of MESSAGE it is applied end-to-end for better congestion control.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] SIP MESSAGE request

Dear all,

I have a question regarding SIP MESSAGE request specified in RFC 3428.
It specifies that ...

"""
The size of MESSAGE requests outside of a media session MUST NOT exceed
1300 bytes, unless the UAC has positive knowledge that the message will
not traverse a congestion-unsafe link at any hop, or that the message
size is at least 200 bytes less than the lowest MTU
   value found en route to the UAS.  Larger payloads may be sent as part
of a media session, or using some type of content-indirection.
"""

How can I guarantee that the message will not grow above this 1300 bytes
limit when being routed through a chain of proxies (which add their via
headers -> increases the message size...)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Holger
