Yeah, I don't think that's an issue. The issue is more that the designers of those UA's/servers didn't take size into account, and thus always try the bigger size, and don't have an alternative mechanism when they get the 513. (and they don't remember the size restriction for other requests, so they keep doing it again and again and again...until they get blacklisted or throttled) -hadriel _______________________________________________ Sip mailing list https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sip This list is for NEW development of the core SIP Protocol Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for questions on current sip Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for new developments on the application of sip
