[OpenSIPS-Users] Record-Route and Dialog topology_hiding()

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Ben,

As I mentioned in different thread, TH is not compatible with the RR 
mechanism. If you do TH, your OpenSIPS will act as and end point (from 
SIP perspective), so there will be no Route/RR headers at all. So no 
need to do loose_route or so. You just do TH matching for the sequential 
requests and nothing more.
