[OpenSIPS-Users] [OpenSIPS-Devel] Planning next release - Roadmap

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi,

dialog control looks more or less as transaction control  (setting the 
transaction timeout). IMO, when doing spiralling, you should do the 
control only from one instance and not from all of them. Like control 
the FR timer only from first instance and use dummy higher value in the 
next instances (across the spiral). By doing this, only the first FR 
timer will control the call.

Regards,
Bogdan
