Not only does sip have no maximum callid length, it has no bound on the
length of most things in the message.
Of course you can usually control the length of things that you
originate, but you must not impose a limit on those you receive if you
want to be interoperable. Just get it through your head that these
things are not limited, and structure you implementation around that.
I'll point out the obvious to you: every element of a message is bounded
by the size of the message as a whole. If you buffer the message for
processing, then you can refer to elements of it, like the callid, by
simply keeping the offset and length within the message buffer.
Thanks,
