Here at SIPit we had a test involving B2BUA's in spirals and loops and other 
dangerous situations.

Robert Sparks and I ended up with a discussion about how B2BUA's should handle 
Max-Forwards.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-marjou-sipping-b2bua-01
The BCP draft clearly says that B2BUA's should RESET the Max-Forwards header.

"Max-Forwards   R      Reset Max-Forwards when creating requests [3]"

In appendix A.

Robert meant that if we do NOT decrement max-forwards with one as we set up the 
new call, we will cause endless loops.

I'm stuck in between. In some situations, like a PBX, the new call is really a 
new call. When using a B2Bua as an SBC, we do forward calls.

What do you think?
