Either that or perhaps you arn't doing anything with the call. If opensips
doesn't change the RURI in it's "routing" then it'll end up sending it back
to itself. What Iñaki is refering to is when opensips doesn't think the
destination is for itself (a domain it doesn't recognize) it will forward it
onto that destination as a proxy. Which ends up sending it back to itself.
And it repeats this over and over until opensips kills the call for having
too many hops. This is a very common mistake to make when getting started.
