<br>
Below is a snippet of an INVITE and you can see the usual &quot;trying - your
call is important to us&quot; in the dialog. Anyhow, for some reason SER
occasionally attempts to sent the ACK to itself, which causes a looping
condition. The last ACK shown is the start of the looping condition.<br>
<br>
It only happens on occasion. SER should have consumed the ACK rather than
attempted to forward it.<br>
<br>
Can anyone explain this?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Paul<br>
