Description:It is useful for us in some dial plan code to be able to determine the local SIP IP.  I couldn't see a way of doing this, so I extended CHANNEL() to support it.  I'm submitting this because it's pretty simple and it may be useful for other people.

It does sound useful! Since this would be a new feature, it would likely go in Trunk. It appears to patch cleanly to Trunk.

A question about

bq. <para>R/O Get the IP address of the socket which received the call.</para>

I'm not a developer, so I don't know what is going on in the source always.

Would it always be the socket receiving the call? In the case of outbound calls, wouldn't it be the socket originating the call? Would it be more appropriate to say something like "R/O Get the IP address of the local socket regardless of it is source or destination" ?

Good question, I must admit I haven't tested it in an outbound call scenario.

Do you mind testing and modifying the documentation as needed. I've got a million issues to work with, otherwise I'd be glad to. :)

I'll try to find some time, but I'm pretty snowed under at work.  I'll see what I can do though.

Tested fine on 12 and trunk, though it would only go in trunk. Changed the help text to "R/O Get the IP address of the local socket." which makes more sense, since it doesn't matter whether we received the call or are originating the call.
