Juan,
We can either transfer an ongoing call in UP state or redirect an
incoming but unanswered call today with the transfer() dial plan
application. There are internal API:s for transfering calls as well.

What we do not want to do is create patches that makes asterisk forward
SIP packets in the SIP channel, that's something a SIP proxy does a good
job of doing - and Asterisk is not a SIP proxy.
