Summary:                    [patch] SIP Session-Timers Support in Asterisk
Description: 
The Asterisk SIP stack currently does not support SIP Session-Timers (RFC
4028). This leads to defunct SIP sessions in Asterisk when calls do not
clear through normal signaling procedures due to network or end-point
failures.

John Todd recently discussed this concept on asterisk-dev:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2007-July/028574.html

John Todd, JR Richardson and Kevin Fleming have expressed interest in
seeing this feature supported in Asterisk.

A software design document for this feature and code changes (unified diff
of chan_sip.c) are attached to this report. Digium has my code submission
agreement on file.

Well, the SIP_PVT is used for many things that are not calls and I don't
want to keep expanding it. Everyone that adds something says "look, it's
only 40 bytes"...

Sorry, but it needs to be encapsulated. There are previous examples on how
to make it work properly and clean it up without the risk of memory leaks,
so there's plenty of previous experience. No need to worry.
