[Freeswitch-users] Set Max-Forwards for bridged calls

[Michael Jerris]

Overriding it negates the reason for it in the first place, to catch call loops.  If it is that low coming in, its due to a provider send unreasonably low max forwards.  Looking at the sip traffic coming in should show you this.  You should request the party sending very low max forwards to comply with standards.
