support for sending SIP and RTCP stats to HOMER using HEP

[dpocock]

HOMER is a framework for monitoring RTC traffic in different parts of a carrier network.

RTC applications can send copies of the SIP and RTCP messages that they send and receive to HOMER using the HEP protocol

https://github.com/sipcapture/HEP

Asterisk has implemented this for both SIP and RTCP, maybe their code can be used for reference purposes.

For non-encrypted traffic, people can run captagent on the same box as SEMS to sniff the packets off the network. For SIP over TLS and SRTCP, captagent is unable to help and the HEP support has to be implemented natively in SEMS.

Is this still something that is widely used in the field? I have no practical experience with this type of debug/logging/auditing service to evaluate whether there is a real need to have this supported in sems.
