If you take the example of a SIP Server which is inserted in the SIP path only to provide a supplementary service in case this latter is requested by the user ( e.g. call transfer), I think that the user will not be satisfied if it's call does not succeed just because the network is not able to provide this service...
_______________________________________________

If we are considering how Route is handled, the question is not the failure of the call to be connected, but rather once the call is established, if the server fails, ensuring that later in-dialog requests (e.g., REFER, BYE) succeed.

But in practice, devices that provide supplementary services are usually B2BUAs (even if they could be implemented as proxies, or nearly so), and the proposed mechanism will not rescue a call from a failed B2BUA.
