<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Okay, after reading that thread, I agree that the CSeq can use all 32 bits. The restriction is that a UAC, when starting a dialog, must choose a CSeq that is less than 2^31. This means that with our current INITIAL_CSEQ of 101, we&#39;re well within the guidelines.</pre>

After using the 2nd maximum of 2^32 minus a few (#define INITIAL_CSEQ              4294967290UL) phones, BLF and MWI still workign as normal.

Previously the BLF would stop functioning after the minus values were reached.
Now it wraps around from 4294967295 to 0, as below.
