The concept of loose routing was formally declared in bis-06. Any principle used before that, the most widely used of bis-02, is a strict routing concept. But I have not seen many difference in the routing principle from 2543 running to bis-05. Regards, Prasanna Huawei Technologies

I am a little confused too! Please can someone confirm that these 4 statements are correct: 1. RFC3261 defines "loose routing" 2. To use "loose routing" you must use the "lr" parameter. 3. Put an another way, if you don't use the "lr" parameter, you're NOT using the loose routing. 4. If you don't use the "lr" parameter, you are using "strict routing" and the routing rules in RFC3261 do not apply. So this also leads me to a question regarding "strict routing". RFC3261 states: Strict Routing: A proxy is said to be strict routing if it follows the Route processing rules of RFC 2543 and many prior work in progress versions of this RFC. So my question is... which bis of RFC2543 gives the most correct specification of "strict routing"?
