------------------------------

             Summary: add socket activation support
                 Key: ASTERISK-25541
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-25541
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: None
            Reporter: Max


Having (optional) support for socket activation in Asterisk would bring several benefits:

#  Security: systemd can listen on privileged ports or socket paths and start Asterisk with privileges already dropped.
#  Major upgrades or reconfigurations of Asterisk requiring a full restart are possible without having the listening socket(s) ever go away.
# Any service dependent on Asterisk doesn't have to wait for it to finish starting (or start at all).
#  We can be absolutely sure that we always bind to existing IP addresses on all desired network interfaces - no race conditions with network bring-up, systemd takes care of that for us.
