[SR-Users] Replacing Asterisk with Kamailio

Thu Sep 15 17:31:22 CEST 2016

I already have both books and I am enrolled in next Flavio's on-line
bootcamp.

I have never get the rfc3261 end. But I will try to read it again (may be I
have to print it, I am a little old to read such on-line - I guess)

Thank you,
