Hi,
Thanks for reply.

So for better interoperability  (with proxies for which RFC is not clear
about CSeq for forked leg) if UAC send request with higher CSeq (in below
mention scenario CSeq 3) then call be always successful.

Please share your opinion.

Regards,
Ravi Kumar

True, a UAC (request sender) can choose to use a higher CSeq.  But a
UAS (request receiver) must not *require* that.

However, I believe that your complaint is based on a conceptual error:
Forking is an *inherent* part of SIP, and all devices (especially
proxies and other "middle boxes") must be prepared to see multiple
forks of a single request and must handle them correctly.

Once you assume that all SIP elements will handle forked requests
properly, then there is no need to worry about behavior that is "more
flexible".
