<p class="MsoNormal">This is a good point and I did consider that. However, this only makes sense in the case where there is a successful response prior to the error response. As I noted I have seen this occur when both parties reply to the BYE with a 481 response.
If the Dialog and ACC modules were triggering on the first BYE reply received, then my flag should still be getting set in this case as the first reply is guaranteed to be a failure.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is it possible the dialog termination and CDR generation are being triggered prior to the failure_route callback? If so, are they also triggered prior to a reply_route callback? Would it make sense to delay the dialog termination until
after failure_route processing to allow the script to make final adjustments to the CDR such as this?<o:p></o:p></p>

<tt>The issue is a bit more complex. When generating the BYE requests, the dialog module triggers the event of call terminated when it gets back the first final reply (to any of the BYEs). And ACC module generates the CDR when the dialog is terminated.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>So, the second BYE (which probably ends with timeout) ends in failure route (and set the acc extra) *after* the call was terminated and the CDR generated.</tt><br>

<p>I think you should take care of this on your gateway. For example, using freeswitch or asterisk, you can check for rtps, and when the other end stops sending rtps for 30 seconds (configurable) it will tear down the call properly.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Unless you're using a rtp-proxy with opensips which can do this (most can), that's the way to do this. Anything else is just duct-taping.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>My opinion after 20 years on voip.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Hope that helps.<o:p></o:p></p>
