Sorry. Address-of-Record. It is actually the URI in the To header of
REGISTER request. The idea is that you have two different kinds of
URIs, Contact URIs owned by a user-agent and AoR URIs, which are URIs
owned by a proxy. When you register, the registrar binds a contact URI
with AoR. While the registration is valid, proxy forwards the incoming
request which have AoR as request-URI to the registered contact URI.
Or to be more precise, one or more of the registered contact URIs
selected by proxy's internal routing logic. Which makes them one of
the most brain-damaged inventions in SIP.

The From URI  in REGISTER is usually just ignored by proxy, or it is
checked that it is same as the To URI.

You may want to make anonymous calls (using From:
<sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). Or an incoming calls might have got
redirected, so the To header contains someone else's URI.

>From and To URI are about as reliable indicator about the real sender
and destination as in e-mail. You could as well ignore them.
