[SIPForum-discussion] Loose routing over strict routing

Amit,

In cal forwarding case the proxy has to put the destination UA's URI instead
of the current Rquest URI.And in Forking scenarios the proxy has to go with
the same Req URI.But in the strict routing case, the proxy has to replace
the Req URI and put the route header value instead.This behaviour prevents
the call forwarding and Forking cases in case of strict.
Except this reason is there any other reason in the above scenarios?If yes
please let me know.


Thanks
