    I am using SIPp scenario to test some stuff and found F5 looping ACK, Do you know how to figure out what could be wrong? following is my scenarios file ACK section.

    
  
  
    

      ACK sip:[service]@[remote_ip]:[remote_port] SIP/2.0
      Via: SIP/2.0/[transport] [local_ip]:[local_port];branch=[branch]
      From: "anon" <sip:anon@foo.example.com:[local_port]>;tag=[pid]SIPpTag00[call_number]
      To: [service] <sip:[service]@foo.example.com:[remote_port]>[peer_tag_param]
      Call-ID: [call_id]
      CSeq: 1 ACK
      Contact: sip:anon@[local_ip]:[local_port]
