Just chiming in here.. See, I'm having a problem with my provider who isn't properly adhering to Record-Routing (see previous thread). And so sometimes I don't get that BYE and it goes direct to my customer! So in that case, the dialog gets left open permanently. <div>

</div>Hi, this is very interesting but I wonder how "dangerous" is a proxy<br>
trying to count the simultaneous calls.<br>
<br>
If for example alice calls to bob through OpenSIPs, how can OpenSIPS<br>
know if the call is really alive or not? imagine neither alice or bob<br>
are using SessionTimers.<br>
<br>
OpenSIPS cannot assume that it will receive an in-dialog request which<br>
would refresh the dialog expire time, so this time must be very long<br>
(hours). What about if alice and bob crash without sending a BYE? The<br>
call will remain "alive" in OpenSIPS until the dialog expires (various<br>
hours), so alice couldn't call bob again during this time.<br>
