Hello

Adding Record-Route means that the proxy wants to be in the path of 
future in-dialog requests. This means that that proxy can perform 
load-balancing, consistency-checks on sip messages etc. for all SIP 
traffic, including in-dialog requests that without RR will get routed to 
other hops. It can also be used for topology hiding, flood attack 
detection etc.
