Hi Paul & Brett,
Thanks for your detailed clarification. Just final doubt if in the
INVITE request will have "Request-Disposition: no-fork" then Call
forwarding will not happen for that request ?
Yes, *IF* the proxy honored that. But the callerpref stuff is all
optional, and frankly I'm not aware of *any* implementation that honors
no-fork. :-(
Thanks,
Paul
Thanks,
Sourav

I wasn't an author of that, so can't say for certain. But it has a
normative reference on RFC3261. And support for multiple early dialogs,
at least to the extent I described, is not optional there. It would get
tiresome for every sip document to emphasize every mandatory feature of
3261 that must be supported.
Thanks,
Paul
