Summary:                    [patch] Registration expiry not compatible with some
ITSP
Description: 
The configured registration expiry value is overwritten by the initial
expiry value from UAS. Subsequent registrations use the new value. This
prevents the UAS from changing its registration expiry value.

Some ITSP use changing registration periods to discover the NAT binding
period at the UAC. Their UAS will set it initially very low and keep
increasing it until they see that the src port number of the registration
has changed. This indicates the nat binding period. The ITSP will then use
an expiry period a little less than this so that the UAC is reregistering
at the minimum required to keep alive the nat binding. However the UAS will
never increase the expiry beyond that requested by the UAC. If the UAC uses
the initial UAS expiry instead of the configured value then the
registration expiry gets stuck at a ludicrously short period.

Issue 14185 contained a patch chan_sip.c-expiryrequest6.patch that dealt
with this in addition to getting the expiry parameter parsed but the
revision r172234 does not implement all of the patch
