[SIPForum-discussion] Loose Routing and Strict routing

[Lokesh Agrawal]

Hi Nazeema,

According to rfc2543
Static (or Starict) routing rewrote the Request-URI. That means the
Request-URI always contained URI of the next hop (which can be either next
proxy server which inserted Record-Route header field or destination user
agent). Because of that it is necessary to save the original Request-URI as
the last Route header field.

According to rfc 3261
The Request-URI is no more overwritten, it always contains URI of the
destination user agent. If there are any Route header field in a message,
than the message is sent to the URI from the topmost Route header field.
This is significant change--Request-URI doesn't necessarily contain URI to
which the request will be sent. In fact, loose routing is very similar to IP
source routing
