| The Route header field is used to force routing for a request through the
listed set of proxies. Each host removes the first entry and then proxies
the Request to the host listed in that entry using it as the RequestURI.
Explicit Route assignment (if needed) for the initial dialog establishment
is the applications responsibility, but once established Routes are
maintained by the dialog layer and should not be manupulated by the
application. For example the SipProvider queries the dialog for Route
assignment and adds these to the outgoing message as needed. The
javax.sip.address.Router may be used by the application to determine
the initial Route of the message.
