All of this is already done for you in the switch, both the decrementing of max forwards and the rejection as well. You can check out code in switch_core_session_outgoing_channel and switch_ivr_session_transfer for more details. Mike On Aug 19, 2008, at 9:38 AM, Jonas Gauffin wrote:

Hi Brian,

Mkay. I searched the code and I didn't find any decreases. When do you decrease it? I try to not use redirect/deflect, but bridge instead to get billing correctly. I decrease max_forwards myself on each "forward" made by my system (by using "set" action on that variable).

Is it possible to get FreeSWITCH to reject calls when max_forward becomes 0 (if changed in the dialplan)?

Which status code should be used when rejecting calls due to max_forward limit? I currently use SwitchCongestion, but I guess that that is not correct ;)

Thanks, Jonas

As in? We do decrement the max_forwards as call progresses thru FS.

Are max_forwards being used?
