If a proxy receives the request with Max-Forward value zero, the RFC states
that it needs to rejected with 483 Too many hops and the element must not
foward the request. What would be the expected behaviour if a registrar
receives the REGISTER request with Max-Forwards value zero? Does it need to
honor the request or reject it?

Please clarify this.

Thank You,
CoolGoose.
