    Hello,<br>
    <br>
    there are some mandatory SIP headers, without them a sip reply
    cannot be built.<br>
    <br>
    One is Via as the SIP mandates to send the reply where the last Via
    address points to. In RFC3261, Via also carries the branch parameter
    that should be used to match the transaction.<br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>
    Daniel<br>
