George Joseph commented on ASTERISK-28648:
------------------------------------------

The chan_sip channel driver is in 'extended' support status and is supported only by community members.  Your issue is in the queue. Your patience is appreciated as a community developer may work the issue when time and resources become available.

Asterisk is an open source project and community members work the issues on a voluntary basis. You are welcome to develop your own patches and submit them to the project.[1]

If you are not a programmer and you are in a hurry to see a patch provided then you might try rallying support on the Asterisk users mailing list or forums.[2] Another alternative is offering a bug bounty on the asterisk-dev mailing list.[3] Often a little incentive can go a long way.

>             Project: Asterisk
>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: Channels/chan_sip/General
>    Affects Versions: 16.6.1
>            Reporter: Bill Mandra
>
> Per RFC 3261 8.2.6.2 Headers and Tags:
> The Via header field values in the response MUST equal the Via header field values in the request and MUST maintain the same ordering.
> However, the copy_via_headers function inserts "received=" or "received=;rport=" potentially into the middle of the header which does not maintain ordering of the field values.
> To be RFC 3261 compliant, received and rport should always be appended to the end of the via header.
