hi
some lines from RFC 3261
A proxy can operate in either a stateful or stateless mode for each
new request. When stateless, a proxy acts as a simple forwarding
element. It forwards each request downstream to a single element
determined by making a targeting and routing decision based on the
request. It simply forwards every response it receives upstream. A
stateless proxy discards information about a message once the message
has been forwarded. A stateful proxy remembers information
(specifically, transaction state) about each incoming request and any
requests it sends as a result of processing the incoming request. It
uses this information to affect the processing of future messages
associated with that request. A stateful proxy MAY choose to "fork"
a request, routing it to multiple destinations. Any request that is
forwarded to more than one location MUST be handled statefully.
