The SBC understands how exactly Vendor X speaks SIP and how exactly Vendor Y speaks SIP and can then enable the interconnection/ interoperability. So the reality is that there are SBCs out there that view as part of their function to "fix" SIP so that it can be interoperable. In doing this "fixing", one can expect that the SBCs would be changing headers.
I would say I don't know whether I should laugh or cry, but laughter is obviously much more fun. Seriously; how ridiculous do things need to get before we can no longer keep a straight face? (I gave up a while ago)
