The following URL leads to a limited (INVITE only) test suite for SIP protocol usage: proxies and UA's among other tests. Since Asterisk implements partial proxy and full UA functionality, it may be worth someone's time to take a swing at getting this installed and pointed at an Asterisk box: http://www.ee.oulu.fi/research/ouspg/protos/testing/c07/sip/index.html If you could then record the failure modes, and document them on http://bugs.digium.com/ that would perhaps help the developer community in identifying where there are major/minor SIP flaws and in turn allow repairs that would make the SIP channel module in Asterisk a more stable and robust implementation. The implementation for the test suite is in Java. Sorry, due to time constraints, I don't even have a prayer of looking at this fully, so I leave it to someone else to forge ahead and do some testing... JT
