Both Original and Modified invite messages have line numbers to help you evaluate the changes made to the message.

The Routing Decisions section displays the result of the routing test. The result displays one line per destination choice. For a destination that has alternate routing choices available, the result displays one line per alternate routing choice, and the lines are displayed in the same order that the test attempted to test the destinations.

Each line displays the following information:
