To keep the implementation simple, there is no such function. The  
keepalive will be sent until the original expiration time is met. So  
for example if the original register was for 5 minutes and after 2  
minutes you unregister, keepalive will still be sent for another 3  
minutes.

This is mainly a compromise I considered to be acceptable to keep the  
implementation simple and efficient, otherwise it would have  
complicated the internal structures and logic a lot.
