Hi Manju, As per RFC 3261 see bold letter inline is very important and i think your answer .
8.1.1.6 Max-Forwards The Max-Forwards header field serves to limit the number of hops a request can transit on the way to its destination. It consists of an integer that is decremented by one at each hop. 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.* A UAC MUST insert a Max-Forwards header field into each request it originates with a value that SHOULD be 70. *This number was chosen to** be sufficiently large to guarantee that a request would not be dropped in any SIP network when there were no loops, but not so large as to consume proxy resources when a loop does occur. Lower values should be used with caution and only in networks where topologies are known by the UA.* * * * * Regards*,* Satish On Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 5:53 PM, manju nath <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have doubt regarding the value of Max-forwards header, the doubt > is > > what should be the behaviour of UAS if it receives an INVITE req with > Max-Forwards value greater the 255?? > > does it has to reject the req it by 483 or 400??? > > plz reply it helps me alot , Thanks in advace... :) > > -- > *Thanks & Regards,* > *Manjunath.jootoor.* > _______________________________________________ > Sip-implementors mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors > -- Thanks & Regards Satish Agrawal New Delhi-24. _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
