I don't have all the details, but one reason was that the same
procedures were wanted towards a PSAP and an MGCF, and at least in the
previous 3GPP releases the MGCF does the called party number mapping
based on the Request-URI value. Also, since this was done a while ago,
the loose-route draft mechanism wasn't even discussed. Also, since
neither the PSAP or MGCF registers themselves to the E-CSCF, the
loose-route draft mechanism wouldn't be used towards those entities even
if adopted by IMS.

technique went it enters the PSAP operator network?

I think it is up to each operator to decide how the marking is done.
There will always be agreements between the PSAP operators and the other
("public") operators using them. I guess it would also be possible to
put the original service URN into the P-Called-Party-Id header (as for
normal calls), eventhough I don't think it's currently specified.

>Do you expect that the call is directly sent from the E-CSCF to the
PSAP and that there are no other hops in between?

I think both cases are applicable.

Regards,

Christer
