Re: AT&T uVerse blocking SIP?

[Jared Mauch <jared () puck nether net>]

I’ve never gotten AT&T to respond to issues, including the fact the device eats the SIP packets, and some types of SIP 
packets can actually cause their device to reboot as well.

It’s been a few years now since I really chased this down, but beware all of these ‘helpers’, including the Cisco 
SIP-ALG are broken.  It’s more damage introduced by these CPE devices (like broken DNS proxies, etc).
