I did NOT know that. :)
I'm not a telco or service provider.  Just part of a company that's
unfortunate enough to help a handful of customers manage their own internal
Asterisk or FreePBX systems.

Most of my customers use Twilio upstream.  I don't think Twilio logs that
header, and I don't see anything like it in the Asterisk logs.  (Not sure
if it even gets passed to us or if it just doesn't logs it.)
