All mobile terminal originated session setup attempts must transit the outbound proxy so that the services provided by the outbound proxy can be delivered to the mobile terminal.
4.15.2. SIP Serving Proxy in the Home Network
The serving proxy in the home network allows triggering of user- customized services that are typically executed in an application server.
All mobile terminal originated session setup attempts must transit the serving proxy in the home network so that the proxy can properly trigger the SIP services allocated to the user (e.g., speed dial substitution). This implies a requirement for some sort of source- routing mechanism to ensure these proxies are transited correctly.
4.15.3. INVITE Might Follow a Different Path than REGISTER
The path taken by an INVITE request need not be restricted to the specific path taken by a mobile terminal originated REGISTER request; e.g., the INVITE may traverse just the SIP outbound proxy and the SIP serving proxy, without passing through any other proxies. However, the path taken by the INVITE may follow the same path taken by the REGISTER.
4.15.4. SIP Inbound Proxy
The visited network may apply certain services and policies to incoming sessions (such as establishment of security services or interaction with the media reservation mechanism). Therefore, the visited network may contain a SIP inbound proxy for terminating sessions. In general, the SIP inbound proxy and the SIP outbound proxy are the same SIP proxy.
4.15.5. Distribution of the Source Routing Set of Proxies
Sections 4.15.2 and 4.15.4 assume that a source-routing mechanism is used to effect traversal of the required SIP proxies during session setup.
There must be some means of dynamically informing the node that adds the source-routing set of proxies that the INVITE has to traverse (e.g., the outbound proxy or serving proxy) of what that set of proxies should be.
The hiding requirements expressed in Section 4.12 also apply to the
