Hmmm, you didn't actually say if you want the local address or the
remote address.
Realistically, only Asterisk itself can tell you what IP it accepted a
given connection on
(any server machine might have multiple locat interfaces, each with a
different IP),
and what address a given connection is coming from.
This is something to suggest as an enhancement on their bugs/support forum.
You ca not just grab some random interface that is up and assume that
that is the one
you were connected on. The C code down inside Asterisk already does a
getpeername() system call (or equivalent) on the incoming socket to get
the other end's IP;
you can prove this by doing e.g., "sip show peers" and see that it has
the IP addrs of
all your registered peers.
It's up to the C to reliably provide this.
