Hi

I have a SIP PBX which works in B2BUA mode and I've noted that when it comes
to dealing with Header fields, it doesn't stick to the table 2 in chapter
20.1 of RFC 3261. Specifically, it is modifying some header fields which
according to that table may not be modifed by a proxy. I contacted the
manufacturer and they claim that since a B2BUA isn't a proxy, they don't
have to follow the rules established in the RFC and I'm having a hard time
countering that since to me, a B2BUA is a proxy seeing as it does what a
proxy does (even if the RFC doesn't spell that out) but I'm wondering:

Is there any type of UAS to which the header processing rules mentioned
before do not apply? Is B2BUA really a loophole to not do things a proxy
should do just because it isn't a real proxy per definition (even though it
basically does the same things.. it just does more than a proxy does)?

Regards
Stephan
