Environment:Fedora 20Attachments:( 0) keepalive_packet.png
Description:When configured with the 'keepalive' option (keepalive = 30 in sip.conf), Asterisk sends periodic keep alive packets to peers. These packets as sent with content '\r\n\0' instead of 'r\n\r\n' as indicated by RFC5626 section 4.4.1.
This has the potential to confuse clients and not be interpreted as 'ping' packets.

I've fixed the {{\0}} byte issue in https://gerrit.asterisk.org/#/c/7537/

The ping message itself is still just a {{\r\n}} so I am leaving this open for now.
