[Users] keep alive using RE-INVITE

Hi Javier,

this is quite impossible to do - by sending re-INVITEs from a middle 
point, you will break the CSEQ consistency between the end points. 
Within the dialog, the cseq must increase from message to message - if 
you send a re-invite to point A with cseq n+1, after a while point B may 
sent a request with the same cseq since it was not aware that some party 
in the middle changed the number.

the best way to do it is if you have a end2end keepalive mechanism as 
Session-Timer.

regards,
bogdan
