[asterisk-users] sip forking needed for ekiga 3.0

[SIP]

My thoughts are that to do parallel requests from every IP address on
the machine is extremely weird behaviour.

How would any server know which to respond to?

SIP forking is supposed to send requests to multiple different
destinations (or fork mid-stream to send to different destinations). 
Sending from multiple different points of origin doesn't make any sense
at all in either a logical or rational fashion. What's it supposed to
accomplish?
