/**
* A CSeq header field in a request contains a single decimal sequence number
* and the request method. The CSeq header field serves to identify and order
* transactions within a dialog, to provide a means to uniquely identify
* transactions, and to differentiate between new requests and request
* retransmissions. Two CSeq header fields are considered equal if the
* sequence number and the request method are identical.
*
* - Method - The method part of CSeq is case-sensitive and MUST match that
* of the request.
*
- Sequence number - The sequence number is chosen by the requesting
* client and is unique within a single value of Call-ID. The sequence number
* MUST be expressible as a 32-bit unsigned integer and MUST be less than
* 2**31. For non-REGISTER requests outside of a dialog, the sequence number
* value is arbitrary. Consecutive Requests that differ in method, headers or
* body, but have the same CallIdHeader must contain strictly monotonically
* increasing and contiguous sequence numbers; sequence numbers do not wrap
* around. Retransmissions of the same Request carry the same sequence number,
* but an INVITE Request with a different message body or different headers
* (a "re-invitation") acquires a new, higher sequence number. A server must
* echo the CSeqHeader from the Request in its Response. If the method value is
* missing in the received CSeqHeader, the server fills it in appropriately.
* ACK and CANCEL Requests must contain the same CSeqHeader sequence number
* (but not method) as the INVITE Request they refer to, while a BYE Request
* cancelling an invitation must have a higher sequence number. An user agent
* server must remember the highest sequence number for any INVITE Request
* with the same CallIdHeader. The server must respond to, and then discard,
* any INVITE Request with a lower sequence number.
*
* As long as a client follows the above guidelines, it may use any mechanism
* it would like to select CSeq header field values.
*
* Forked Requests:
* Forked Requests must have the same CSeqHeader as there would be ambiguity
* otherwise between these forked Requests and later BYE Requests issued by the
* client user agent.
*
* For Example:
* CSeq: 4711 INVITE
