Hi Folks, This decision boils down to a question of semantics. Does a URI in a Route header mean: 1) send through this proxy, or 2) send through this service or intermediary ? One of the important things to consider when there is a difference of philosophy or opinion regarding semantics, is to consider if any harm comes from either of the choices. In this case, I can come up with no technical reason that using a Route header is harmful. Another key question is if there is any precedent. Again, the two proposals both have some precedent. Conference bridges do not use the Route header (the analogy of approach 1), but folks have been using Route headers to direct SIP requests through B2BUAs for session border control (gasp), policy control, P-CSCFs, etc.. for some time now (the analogy of approach 2). I can even dig up some old mail when we encouraged 3GPP to use a loose-route for one of their many B2BUAs instead of defining some piece of new mechanism. Taking this a step further, we've been talking about how *proxies* can use session policy to meet logging requirements. I think this is very similar to transcoding, since some entity operating on behalf of both intermediaries (transcoder and logging proxy) need to see the media. Finally there is the question of using existing mechanism vs. inventing new mechanism. If the existing mechanism fits, I see no reason to define new mechanism unless a more general approach to other problems is achievable with the new mechanism. Nobody is proposing using the new mechanism proposed in (1) to do anything else. Also, the conference bridge analogy breaks IMO since conference bridges do not use this new mechanism to indicate the other participants in the conference. In summary, I prefer option 2 (use the Route header). The approach causes no harm, has precedent for existing usage, and requires no new special-purpose mechanism. thanks, -rohan On Mar 12, 2004, at 3:28 AM, Gonzalo Camarillo wrote: > Folks, > > during the SIPPING session, I presented the following draft: > http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-camarillo-sipping-transc- > b2bua-01.txt > > We discussed whether or not it is appropriate to use Route headers to > introduce a B2BUA in the path.
