[OpenSIPS-Users] Preparing new major release 1.7.0 - UPDATE

[Richard Revels]

Re SST:  Yep, everything you said is true.  I was using SST to verify the endpoints were still alive.  At the same time, i wanted to kill the call at some specified point regardless if both endpoints were still there.  For instance, I want to limit all calls to 15 minutes but at the same time check every 45 seconds to insure the endpoints are still on the network.  With the addition of the dialog ping I think this problem is solved.  I also can't think of a valid reason to want SST module at the proxy outside of this.  I guess the answer to your question is "I don't need it - not sure what I was thinking".  : >

The Dialog ping will go a long way toward handling this problem in that there is less need to support session timers.  However, there are still times when I would like to set the dialog timeout based on some criteria, like credit or whatever, and at the same time allow endpoints to make use of the SIP Session Timer.  At the moment that over-rides the value I place on the Dialog Timeout.  Is the Dialog Timeout variable able to be modified via the management interface?  I don't remember.  If not, that would be neat too.
> Maybe I'm missing something, but why using SST module if you are not interested in terminating the dialog when Session Timer is up ? more or less if you want to control the dialog lifetime by your own values, then you have to ignore SST; if you ignore SST, why using ? AFAIK, SST on opensips is just controlling the dialog lifetime and terminates the call if no re-INVITE.

It may help focus a lot of testing and debug over that 12 day time period that would         normally drag out over a couple of months as people try to make time to deal with issues they had found "work-arounds" for.
