[sr-dev] Acc patch to log CDRs for expired dialogs

[Lucian Balaceanu]

Hi all,

At 1&1 we have a patch for the Acc module that allows us to log CDRs 
from expired dialogs (for example when a UA would fail and would not 
transmit a final message). Would you see a benefit from pushing this 
code upstream? If so, would you like to see this implemented as a 
switchable feature
(through the use of a config parameter) or as something enabled all the 
time?

I know that the current view on things, stated in the Acc module 
documentation is:
"If a UA fails in middle of conversation, a proxy will never find out 
about it. In general, a better practice is to account from an end-device 
(such as PSTN gateway), which best knows about call status (including 
media status and PSTN status in case of the gateway). "

What do you think?

Thank you!
