Proxy Server:

A proxy server is an intermediate entity that receives SIP requests and forwards them
on behalf of the requestor. Proxy servers route requests to the user’s current location,
authenticate and authorize users for services, and implement provider call-routing
policies. It also enforces polices for a user and provides name mapping.
For each new request, a proxy can function either in stateful or stateless mode. When
it functions as a stateless proxy server, it acts as a simple forwarding element. A stateless
proxy server discards information about a message after the message is forwarded. A
stateful proxy server remembers information (specifically, transaction state) about each
incoming request and also about requests it sends as a result of processing the incoming
request. It uses this information to influence the processing of future messages associated
with that request.
SIP proxy servers use presence services to track users and to check the willingness and
ability of users to communicate with other users on the network. A presence service is
an application of the SIP-specific event notification mechanism (RFC 3265 (Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) - Specific Event Notification)). It enables a user to be located
regardless of the physical location. It also accepts presence information from users,
stores, and distributes the presence information to other interested users.

It forwards the SIP messages to multiple proxy servers, creating a search tree, in order for the SIP messages to reach their destination. There are two different operating modes for these servers: stateless (the server forgets all the information once the request is sent) and stateful (the server save previous routing information and is able to use it for improving the message transfer).
