   Yes. The specification assumes that other requests are processed by
   machines and machines can generate a reply fast enough. I do not know
   if this holds though. I have seen scenarios at past SIPIts where it
   took over 15 seconds to get a SIP request from UAC to UAS through 
   approximately 8 proxies (most time was spent in DNS queries).
