  What exactly is the isssue ? loose_routing is backwards compatible in
  vast majority of cases (it is not backwards compatible when user
  agents use pre-loaded route sets).

  It has not dissappeared, it is in loose_route. The function can detect
  whether the next hop is strict or loose router and behave accordingly.

  The function is called record_route_strict and it is a replacement for
  record_route. If you want SER to be a strict router, then replace the
  last zero in record_route_strict row of cmds[] in rr_mod.c with
  REQUEST_ROUTE. That would enable the function and you can use it in
  the script. In the script you then need to replace record_route with
  record_route_strict.

  The difference is that record_route_strict will not add ;lr parameter
  to the Record-Route haader fields generated by SER.
