[SIPForum-discussion] strict and loose routing differences

[Amit Ranjan Sahu]

Hi Kunal ,

 In strict routing, a proxy must use the first URI in the Route header
field to rewrite
the Request-URI, which is then forwarded.

In loose routing, a proxy does notre-write the Request-URI, but either
forwards the request to the first URI
in the Route header field or it may forward the request to another
loose routing element. In loose routing, the request must route
through every
server in the Route list (but may also route through other servers)
before it may be routed based on the Request-URI.

In strict routing, the request must only route through the set of
servers in the Route header field with
the Request-URI being rewritten at each hop


Thanks
