Hi Keerthi, The Max-Forwards header field is used with any SIP method to limit the number of proxies or gateways that can forward the request to the next downstream server. Since Registrar/Presence server are acting as end point for the SIP messages, Max-Forwards header is not mandatory.

RFC3261 does not describe about the Registrar / Presence receives SIP message without Max-Forwards header. Can anyone tell me, what Registrar / Presence Server as to do when it receives the SIP message without Max-Forwards Header?
