Hello all

While testing the compatibility of my SIP implementation with several
different end-points, I have discovered some end-points (X-Lite in
particular www.xten.com) which periodically send UDP packets to my server's
SIP port (5060) which contain only 2 bytes (0x0d 0x0a) CRLF roughly every 10
seconds. According to SIP this constitutes the "empty-line" which separates
the headers from the message contents, however there is neither headers nor
message contents so the packet has little meaning and my software rejects it
as erroneous!

Is this operation correct? If so for what purpose would these packets serve
and in which RFC is it specified? The only reason I could imagine for this
operation is to somehow reset the SIP message framing (which would only be
meaningful on TCP not UDP) or maintaining NAT mapping however wouldn't the
REGISTER every 60 seconds accomplish this?

Could anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance

Bill Moats
