[Serusers] Creating CDRs from SERs accouning records

[Lenir]

Check your configuration, you should ALWAYS have a BYE or CANCEL, and a CDR
should be generated for either one. Both the BYE and CANCEL will generate a
CDR with its corresponding call-id.

Do i get this right - the matching is just done by searching a matching
INVITE for each BYE where matching means that the callid must be the same?
Anf of course by calculating the callduration, normalize certain fields and
"grap" phonenumbers out of the sip uri?
Is it really that "simple"? Since, on one hand side, i read about cases
where there is no BYE at the end of a call (i think it had to do with
mediaproxy), on the other hand side, when i look at "my" acc table, i can
find some records, where there are multiple BYEs with the same callid or
INVITEs without a BYEs. 

I understand, that missing BYEs primarly are a problem of the accounting,
not of the normalization, but, how ever, i'm quite sure that i won't be
possible to have a 100% accurate accounting so i thought that there might be
the need/possibility to do some "fixing" during normalization. I.e. i think
i understood that the commercial version of CDRTool does so for missing
BYEs?

Am i completely wrong?

Regards
Frank
