Summary:                    [patch] Remote (called) Party Identification -
chan_sip & chan_skinny implementation
Description: 
Overview:

This patch provides the ability to rewrite the called party information
on
channel types that support it.  Implementations for the SIP (see note
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=1)
and Skinny (see note http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=2) channels have been
provided.

Current features are:

1. Make changes whilst the call is progessing though the dial plan, ie:

   exten => s,1,RemoteParty("Voicemail" <123>)
   exten => s,n,Answer()
   exten => s,n,VoiceMailMain()

2. When using call pickup it will rewrite the caller information showing
the caller that was picked up.

3. When unparking a call it will show the caller*id of the parked call.

The ability to rewrite the calling party identification on semi-attended
transfer is planned but doesn't work yet.

Implementation:

Transmission of the remote party data is done using indications with a
new
subtype of AST_CONTROL_REMOTEPARTY, format of the data is:

  "name" <number>|presentation

Any channel specific code is kept in it's _indicate() handler. Once the
channel driver has received the indication it uses the method specific to
it; in the case of SIP it sends a 180/183 response if possible and with
Skinny it uses transmit_callinfo().

Note http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=1: The SIP implemenation is only able to
update the remote party
before the call has been answered as there is no re-invite support yet.

Note http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=2: I don't have any Skinny phones so no
testing has been done on
that part.

Gareth: Thanks for your reply!

I still think we should use the same structure. There will be changes to
that structure and maintaining two similar structures calls for problems,
especially when we will have to duplicate functions to manage the
structure. I'm thinking about UTF8 caller ID names and SIP URI's that will
have to be added.

Otherwise, I see your point about having a non-bridged call. That calls
for AST_CONTROL with data. Sometimes one just have to ask a lot of
questions to get the full picture. Without questions, you never learn
anything. :-)
