[OpenSIPS-Users] Limit call duration - Timeout in Dialog module?

[John Quick]

So whichever solution I use requires upgrading to version 1.5.x. I thought
maybe 1.4.x was more stable so have not yet upgraded to 1.5. Perhaps now is
the time!

Thanks for the comments. Regards,
John Quick

Hi john,

Using the dialog module should do the trick. When the dialog is setup, 
use an AVP to set the dialog timeout (see the timeout_avp at 
http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.5.x/dialog.html#timeout-avp-id) 
to force dialog termination after certain time  and also enable BYE 
sending at dialog termination ( see bye_on_timeout_flag at 
http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.5.x/dialog.html#bye-on-timeout-f
lag-id).

Regards,
Bogdan
