[OpenSIPS-Users] Accounting BYE response

Hi Ben,
The Dialog is not terminated (as status) with the first successful BYE
reply, but with the first reply (whatever the status is). Even if
bothcaller and callee BYEwill turn into 408 or 481, the first to fire
will terminate the dialog session. But you say that if failure_route is
triggered for both BYEs, you still see no acc extra data (even if at
first one should have been executed before dialog termination)?
