Because it's only 1 perl module I don't think that there can be a lot
of documentation.
You can find config file explanation inside config file.

No, it's not true. You can run your radius server elsewhere.

Very simple. You should authorize a call on your SIP proxy and forward
AUTHENTICATED and AUTHORIZED call.
Authentication feature in *B2BUA mainly is done for querying your
radius server for Session-Timeout.

Just change destination on your INVITE

rewritehostport("your.b2bua.address:5060")
before forwarding INVITE.
s> N.
P.S. If you will have any questions regarding *B2BUA you may ask them
