The ACK will not have a To-Tag, since proxies do not end To-tags to their responses 
(e.g. the 4xx you mentioned), but only the end points add them, thus the proxy will 
notice there is no To-tag in the ACK, and should realize this one is to be consumed by 
itself.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] proxy stateless


Hi,

A UA is in conversation with another UA over a SIP
stateless proxy.

Now if the UA sends a ill-defined INVITE (say
max-fwd=0),
and the sip stateless proxy responds with a 4xx
response. Then the ACK sent for the 4xx response
has the same Request URI as that in the INVITE.

So how does the stateless proxy know that the ACK
is meant for itself and should not be forwarded
ahead.

Thanks.
