Hi All
According to RFC 3261 section 18.1.1, SIP over UDP implementation should 
be able to send /receive 65535 bytes of  packet size. Is this applicable 
for all SIP networks or is there any other limits on the size of SIP 
message. Basically, If SIP message with large content and content 
–length (say 8K or 32K )  is sent, is it guaranteed to reach the 
endpoint across the network?

Appreciate any suggestion or thoughts on this from SIP Gurus.

Thanks
Suresh

18.1.1 Sending Requests
The client side of the transport layer is responsible for sending the
request and receiving responses. The user of the transport layer
passes the client transport the request, an IP address, port,
transport, and possibly TTL for multicast destinations.
I
f a request is within 200 bytes of the path MTU, or if it is larger
than 1300 bytes and the path MTU is unknown, the request MUST be sent
using an RFC 2914 [43] congestion controlled transport protocol, such
as TCP. If this causes a change in the transport protocol from the
one indicated in the top Via, the value in the top Via MUST be
changed. This prevents fragmentation of messages over UDP and
provides congestion control for larger messages. However,
implementations MUST be able to handle messages up to the maximum
datagram packet size. For UDP, this size is 65,535 bytes, including
IP and UDP headers.
