SOAP-RP by no means aspire to be a routing mechanism at the level of RIP
or OSPF. SOAP-RP is a mechanism for sending SOAP messages along a path
that can either be predetermined or dynamically arranged and with the
potential for setting up a reverse path.

It is important to note that the *purpose* for sending SOAP messages
around using SOAP-RP is a function of the application or administrative
rules imposed by the environment. It is not a function of the
infrastructure. In other words, SOAP-RP provides the mechanism - not the
policy. The whole idea is that the application (or user) will provide
the policy.
