Re: [Kamailio-Users] [OpenSIPS-Users] Dimensioning a telephony system based on openser!

Yes. There are some liabilities with that in that the signaling messages may be incomplete (i.e. you may miss a BYE) and this is the usual reason given for doing media proxying for more accurate accounting.

But the latency, bandwidth consumption, and increased complexity and cost associated with doing it on a large scale does not justify it, in my opinion. SIP-only accounting is "good enough" most of the time.

Without mediaproxy? Only based on SIP messages?

You can do accounting without handling media.
