We have a customer using Avaya.  Currently, they are using chan_sip.  We are 
working to migrate them to PJSIP.
I have not been filled in on the exact scenario.  I suspect they have some auto 
forward feature on the number.  Rather than their Avaya transferring 
internally, they tell Asterisk to transfer to a number (with the Asterisk IP).  
Doesn't seem correct to me, but it's pretty common for the major switch vendors 
to do things incorrectly.

We originate from Asterisk to the Avaya endpoint.
Send INVITE (with Allow REFER)
Receive 100 Trying
Receive 180 Ringing
Receive 200 O
Transmit ACK
About a half second later, we receive a REFER from Avaya. I'm not sure if this 
is normal, but they send us a number to Refer-To @ asterisk IP address.  From 
what I'm being told, they want a one-legged transfer where Asterisk would 
perform a transfer of this call to the number given @ the Avaya IP address.
[11/12 15:09:00.680] VERBOSE[1338] chan_sip.c: SIP transfer to extension 
12345@ABC by num...@xyz.org:5060
Transmit 202 Accepted
Transmit NOTIFY "SIP/2.0 503 Service Unavailable (can't handle one-legged 
xfers)"

1) Is there a way to disable sending the REFER in the INVITE's Allow?  
(chan_sip currently).   If not on chan_sip, how about PJSIP?  Our theory is if 
Avaya doesn't receive the Allow: REFER they would do the transfer themselves.
2) Would PJSIP help in any way?
Any other thoughts on how to solve this?  My next inclination is something like 
Kamailio between Avaya and Asterisk.  This type of transfer seems very 
insecure.  It's basically, Avaya able to tell us to transfer to any number they 
want (without any restriction).

Have a great day!
Dan
