[SIPForum-discussion] Sip Proxy Server

[JAYESH]

Yea, there is a diff between between loop & spiral cant remember what it was but it is nicely explained in rfc 3261 draft.......

  in case of spiral.. branch parameter will have different value.
  hence to detect a loop we need to store the branch parameter of all request that was sent via proxy.
  its a hectic job.. any better way to detect a loop.

  Hi
   
  But if all Via header is check, proxy will know for sure that if it is already on the way of the message. So, why loop cant be detected?

    .hmmessage P {   PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px  }  BODY.hmmessage {   FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma  }      You are trying to say if the sent-by matches loop is detected? what about branch parameter? shouldn that also match with Via..
  One more doubt if only sent by check is done.. then it can also be spiral detection.. in this we cant discard the request?
   
  Please solve these issues.

You should check all the via headers that has sent-by value placed by proxy in earlier forwarding to detect the loop.

  .ExternalClass .EC_EmailQuote {   PADDING-LEFT: 4pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 1pt; BORDER-LEFT: #800000 2px solid  }      Hi,
   
    we have a confusion regarding loop detection by proxy server. As per the RFC 3261 we create key for branch parameter using , To tag, From tag, Call-ID header
  field, the Request-URI of the request received (before translation), the topmost Via header, and the sequence number from the CSeq header field.
   
  But the confusion is if the request traverses through several proxies and the same request comes back to the previous proxy, the top most via gets changed,
  so the Key generated will be different, hence loop detection is not possible.
   
  Please suggest a solution for this issue.
