+Subject: res_pjsip
+
+Added a new PJSIP system setting called disable_rport.
+Default is no to keep support working as before.
+
+If it is false (default) it adds the 'rport' parameter in the outgoing request message.
+If it is true it does not add the 'rport' parameter in the outgoing request message.
+
+This is a system option, but working as a global option.
