most of calls do use RTP but that can't be said about RTP relay. RTP relay
is not used that frequently (at least in well engineered setups), which is good.
Constant use of RTP relay is a poor setup having bad impact on QoS and
scalability.

I suggest reading before replying would better facilitate the technical 
discussion here. I actually didn't suggest to ignore LI. I suggested 
ignoring the possibility of advanced caller to learn that a call is
not routed peer-to-peer. Other alternatives may be that expensive 
or hard-to-build that they do not appear entirely practicable.
