max_video_bitrateintno6000000Maximum allowed video bitrate to the caller in bits/s

If ìd is not set, it is generated as sip:<username>@<registrar-host>. If no registrar is configured it is generated just like the contact field.

If contact is not set, it is generated as sip:<username>@<addr> where <addr> may be replaced by the public address discovered using the STUN server.

addr = "0.0.0.0"
port = 5060
id = "sip:alice@example.org"
contact = "sip:alice@192.168.1.100"
username = "user"
password = "pass"
realm = "asterisk"
registrar = "sip:sip.example.org"
stun_server = "stun.example.org:3478"

[sip.rtp_port_range]
start = 40000
end = 49999
