    Quick Start Guide at http://www.qacafe.com/buddyweb-quickstart.pdf


  New SIP ALG test
  ----------------

  * The SIP ALG test module has been updated with test case
    cdrouter_sip_45.

    TEST 296: Verify Via header port is used for response instead of UDP src port
    MODULE: sip-alg.tcl
    NAME: cdrouter_sip_45

    This test verifies that the SIP ALG uses the Via port information 
    and not the src port of the UDP packet. Normally, you expect the 
    Via port and the UDP src port to be the same. However, some SIP
    soft phones and other ALGS do not implement this correctly.


  New testvar for controlling PPP restart
  ---------------------------------------

  * For PPP based protocols on the WAN (PPPoE and PPPoA only),
    you may now configure the amount of time CDRouter will wait
    before expecting the link to restablish after the link has been
    brought down.

    This currently defaults to 5 minutes, but this can be configured
    using the testvar pppRestartTimeout. The value should contain
    the number of milliseconds to wait for the link to be 
    restablished.

    testvar pppRestartTimeout 300000


  Passthrough for unknown IP protocol types
  ------------------------------------------

  * The IPSEC pass-through test module (ipsecpt.tcl) now allows you 
    to configure the behavior of unknown protocol types. If the router
    uses a pass-through mechanism for any IP protocol type, the
    testvar unknownPassthrough should be set to yes. The default
    is no.

    Example:

    testvar unkownPassthrough yes


  SIP RTP Stream Updates
  ----------------------

  * The RTP streams created by SIP have been updated in CDRouter 3.0
    to use unique starting sequence numbers. Previously, each RTP 
    stream started with the same RTP sequence number. This change makes
    it easy to follow packet traces to track different RTP streams.


  Multicast Ethernet MAC Address Fix
  ----------------------------------

  * CDRouter 3.0 corrects a problem with multicast MAC addresses for IPv4
    multicast groups between 224.128.0.0 and 239.255.255.255. The MAC address
    incorrectly set bit 24 to '1' instead of '0'. Bit 24 is a reserved bit.
