Source notes citing this source

• RFC 5806, which documents the SIP Diversion header, is in the Historic category and was published for the historical record rather than as a standard. in context
• The Diversion header tells the receiving party from whom a request was diverted and why, carrying the pre-diversion Request-URI and a reason parameter. in context
• RFC 5806 names RFC 4244 (request History-Info) as the standards solution the IETF chose instead of Diversion. in context
• The Diversion header has a counter parameter, and RFC 5806 says the ISUP Redirection Counter should be set to the sum of the counters of all Diversion headers in the SIP message. in context
• The SIP Diversion header is documented in RFC 5806 (March 2010) with Historic status, and the IESG note there points to History-Info (RFC 4244) as the standard mechanism that was chosen instead. in context
