We've had our sip alg before one was distributed with the kernel sources. When we upgrade to new kernel versions we regression test all features and the sip alg has always failed. So we keep using our sip alg. Management won't allocate resources to fix the sip alg in the kernel when ours works. However, that might change if our sip alg stops working. Carlos Munoz
