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.

Actually, I was a bit too broad in my previous statement.  You can
disconnect the ethernet from any device OTHER than the Asterisk systems. 
The Asterisk boxes should remain plugged into a hub or switch or other
system which continues to provide a carrier signal.  I don't know what *
will do if the ethernet drivers detect a loss of signal and takes down the
ethernet interface; perhaps it will interfere with the test results.  So
just disconnect the SIP UAC systems at the ends of the call from their
local ethernet port on the switch/hub.
