RPID has a wider scope but does not give the counter/redirect reason kind of information as Diversion gives. Hence, the Diversion is not fully deprecated and has a value. It gets more relevant in the context of PSTN/IP hop-off as in a GW.
RPID has a more generic use and adds value on privacy. Add to this the new RFC3323 and RFC 3325 requirements and one may ask why RPID when PAI/Privacy headers are available. PS: Some would stay for the sake of backward compatability while others may get deprecated slowly. thanks -Manoj Manoj Bhatia Voice Systems Marketing Cisco Systems, Inc.
