Hi,
    Yes it was a loop back going on thats why i got too many hops. Based on the suggestion I put some thing like this for CANCEL method before relaying
my original configuration is exactly like this.
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/SER+example+NAThelper

                if(method=="CANCEL")
                {
                        if(!lookup("location"))
                        {
                                log(1, "Location not found\n");
                        }
                        fix_nated_contact();
                        force_rport();
                };

but it created two problems.
1. The cancel is now sent to B party. ( which sends error that the call transaction does not exist, ofcourse which is rite since we haven't sent any INVITE to B party)
2. SER goes in loop of ACK
3. later b side will get invite as well, and the ghost call still exists.


This is how it looks like
Caller                              SER                           Callee
            INVITE
--------------------------------->
         
            CANCEL
--------------------------------->

                                                            CANCEL
                                                --------------------------------->
                                                     481 (tran does not exist)
                                                <---------------------------------

                                  Loopback OF  ACK
            100 Trying
<---------------------------------

                                                            INVITE
                                                --------------------------------->
rest of call follows.............

I think that's yet another issue (which then reinstatiates itself in some other issue) --
you must have a loop in your script which you have to fix first. Just ngrep loopback interface
to verify this is the cause of the problem.

The problem comes only when I call from Phone A to Phone B and then immediately cancel the call(from Phone A). The Phone A will hangup the call as it sent CANCEL but the SER will ignore this CANCEL and still send INVITE to Phone B resulting in a ghost call situation.

Therefor SER doesnot relay this CANCEL request to Phone B. I even checked RFC which clearly says that UAC should not send CANCEL untill it receives any provisional response. I talked to Nokia expert and they said the 100 Trying message from your server is considered as provisional response, therefor behaviour of client is absolutely correct.
