Rusty Newton commented on ASTERISK-23169:
-----------------------------------------

It does sound useful! Since this would be a new feature, it would likely go in Trunk. It appears to patch cleanly to Trunk.

A question about

bq. <para>R/O Get the IP address of the socket which received the call.</para>

I'm not a developer, so I don't know what is going on in the source always. 

Would it always be the socket receiving the call? In the case of outbound calls, wouldn't it be the socket originating the call? Would it be more appropriate to say something like "R/O Get the IP address of the local socket regardless of it is source or destination" ?

> It is useful for us in some dial plan code to be able to determine the local SIP IP.  I couldn't see a way of doing this, so I extended CHANNEL() to support it.  I'm submitting this because it's pretty simple and it may be useful for other people.
