[OpenSIPS-Users] Problem with prefix() during call forwarding

[Andrew Pogrebennyk]

I have put b2bua between OpenSIPS and Cisco, but still no luck. The 
point here is that when fr_inv_timer hits, OpenSIPS prematurely sends 
INVITE per the next branch and only after that CANCELs the previous one. 
I don't think this is the correct behavior actually, and there was a 
similar issue mentioned in the Kamailio mailing list: 
http://lists.kamailio.org/pipermail/devel/2009-May/018982.html
If I can make OpenSIPS to wait for the fist branch to be canceled, I 
will invent something in the b2bua to make it finally work. However I 
understand that in general serial forking to one destination won't work.
