To answer the fundamental question of whether your proxy will keep any sort of state -- session related, subscription related, or otherwise -- you need to first determine whether it's necessary to do so for the proxy's purpose.
 
If what your proxy does requires and cannot operate without such state, then you keep it. If the purpose doesn't require such state, then keeping it ties up unnecessary resources, takes additional processing, creates more code to debug and maintain, and makes the network less resilient -- in other words, it would be foolish to maintain any more state than is absolutely necessary to accomplish the task for which the proxy has been defined.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] Proxy call state for SUBSCRIBE

Hi All,
    Is it necessary for a proxy to be "call stateful" for a SUBSCRIBE initiated dialog? Are there any applications of such an implementation?
 
Rgds,
