[SR-Users] Received parameter on Via

[George Diamantopoulos]

Reading your question again, I realize you weren't looking for nat advice
in general, you only wanted to know how the received parameter is added.
Well there's no special function to do this, since it's core SIP, received
is added any time a request is relayed or a local response is generated. It
is always added if different from host addr in via, regardless of nat
detection or loading of nat modules in kamailio.
