[SIPForum-discussion] Spiral Or Loop

[Vijay Tiwari]

Hello Dileep

Ranganathan is correct

for statefull proxy servers

but look this as well.


this is for stateless proxy server.

The new RFC(3261) also deprecates the use of Via header field loop detection
in favor of a required Max-Forwards header field in every request. This is
because of the difficulty and processing burden on proxies to parse long
sets of Via headers.


Thanks
vijay
