Description:	According to http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sip-session-timer-11.txt This is a rather new SIP feature designed to timeout idle SIP sesions. Unfortunately, the SIP provider I use decided to implement this feature. Asterisk does not support it. The real reason for this SIP session timer (at my provider) seems to be because they bill per-minute for all SIP calls, therefore they don't want to bill for hours of calls that were over a while back. ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** I (temporarily) hacked in required headers into transmit_invite, however that cancels the call after Session-Expires timeout because INVITE/UPDATE isnt sent back during that period. Someone with more "advanced" knowledge of asterisk internals and who knows how to implement something like that, please take a look.

By: John Todd (jtodd) 2003-11-14 01:59:54.000-0600 See if you can drum up some support for it on the -dev list. By: zoa (zoa) 2004-01-09 19:33:36.000-0600 this is related to http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000207 By: zoa (zoa) 2004-01-11 21:09:44.000-0600 incorrectly thought this was the same as bug 207... timecop says its not ... By: timecop (timecop) 2004-01-11 21:18:52.000-0600 while this bug might be somehow related to the hanging sip channels, all this is really an extension to the SIP protocol to provide a way to timeout a session if "nothing happened" on it for a given period of time. At the beginning of a session, new header is included, "Session-Expires" as well as "Supported". Refer to the rfc for more info. Before the timeout specified in Session-Expires runs out, uac must send either INVITE or UPDATE with another Session-Expires header, extending the timeout. This is to prevent my SIP provider which manages to charge per minute for all SIP calls, from overbilling me incase my session gets stuck. They don't support refresher:uas, so this would have to be done by asterisk.

I don't care for silence detection, or other crap. I just want session timers implemented so that my sip provider doesnt disconnect my calls after 5 minutes. By: Brian West (bkw918) 2004-01-24 12:26:38.000-0600 207 is timer support and timer support only.  Thats the discussion we had on the last conf call about it.  We didn't even talk about silence detection/supression.
