What if someone were to send an INVITE to your proxy with a header: Route:
<sip:phone-number@pstn-gateway>? Would the proxy forward it, and the gateway
then set up the call?
Normally the request is directed to the proxy. The proxy then authenticates
before forwarding to the PSTN gateway. In the above example, there was a
Route header. In which case doesn't it mean
if (loose_route()) { #Route header exists.
t_relay(); #Forward now. Don't authenticate.
break;
};
Is my understanding of loose_route() wrong?
Thanks.

Let's take the following scenario. I have a PSTN gateway which listens on
port 5060 and accepts to that port only from my SIP proxy. Normally the
proxy takes care of authentication and authorization and if approved,
forwards to the gateway. What if someone were to send an INVITE to my
proxy
with a header: Route:
<sip:phone-number@pstn-gateway>? Would the proxy
forward it, and the gateway then set up the call?
i call loose_route() in the beginning of ser.cfg before the user is
authenticated and approved for pstn access.
