Is it possible to configure the sipXproxy to add some number N to the Max Forwards when a call is received, to make sure that there are always enough forwards left to allow the system to handle the call? _______________________________________________ No, there isn't. And you don't want it to. The purpose of Max Forwards is to ensure that if by some accident, a SIP request is forwarded in a loop, that the Max Forwards counter inevitably is decremented to zero and causes the message to be rejected. Otherwise, the message can circulate forever. More than a few of such messages can bring any system to its knees. And this sort of forwarding loop is much easier to create accidentally than you realize.
