Hi Dhruv,

Thanks for the info, 
The scenario is UAC has sent a request, after many routes request reached proxy 
with Max-Forwards zero and at that time proxy checks the Max-Forwards value 
since it is zero it rejects the request by sending 483 (Too Many Hops) to UA 
which has sent that request, at this time how UA should behave to that error 
response
a) shall UA has to send new request (say INVITE) with greater Max-Forwards 
value or what it should do

Regards,

  If destined user receives the message with max-forwards as zero. It has to 
honor the message. A proxy should check the value of max forwards before 
forwarding it to next hop.

  Piece of text from 3261:

If the Max-Forwards value reaches 0 
before the request reaches its destination, it will   be rejected with a 
483(Too Many Hops) error response.Regards,~Dhruv
