There was a tread that I googled for and could not find about Asterisk
being open to SIP DOS Attacks.  I have a customer whose machine was
hammered last light by traffic on its SIP port causing the OS to use up
its resources.  Namely number of open files.  The discussion was around
the fact that the Sip protocol answers requests without regard to
authentication. Can anyone comment on this????
