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.

At Astricon, there were several conversations about how good an idea this
is, and how much it's needed.  I've tested on two systems, the developer
(Raj) has tested on one.  No problems.  I'd like to get others to test
this, and/or this to be stuffed into TRUNK for testing so we can get it
into 1.6 since I believe this is a _very_ important patch for those of us
that actually pay for our minutes.  Zombies are bad, mmmkay?
