I've never seen a PSTN gw properly handling a REFER, neither I think a
PSTN gw should handle it (but a B2BUA/PBX) between the UA and the PSTN
gw(s).
The REFER with "Referred-by" headers tells the receipt of such REFER
to generate an INVITE with destination indicated in "Refer-To" header
and mirroring the "Referred-By" header (so the UAS receiving the
INVITE knows that it arrives from user in From header but is a
transfer from user in "Referred-By").
Honestly I can imagine how a PSTN gw is supposed to assert the value
of "Referred-By". Perhaps it just allows the REFER if it contains a
Referred-By matching the From URI header?
Cheers.
