When a call comes in from an ITSP, via sipXbridge, who sets the Max-Forwards header in the SIP messages? Does sipXbridge merely decrement what is originally received from the ITSP, or does it set a new number on its own?
Per logs, sipXbridge's first INVITE has Max-Forwards=8. When forwarding is set on the phone to another extension, our incoming calls from ITSP run out of hops with "483 Too many hops". Is it because the ITSP sent the call in with Max-Forwards=9? This problem doesn't happen when the forwarding is set on sipX rather than on the phone because it cuts out a few hops. I know there is an advice on the wiki not to use phone based forwards. But users find it a lot quicker to initiate internal forwarding on the phone than to go to their sipx web page.
