[Users] Detecting runaway calls

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Daryl,

there are two levels you can control a call:
    - signalling (SIP) , but you need some dialog support (B2BUA) or 
Session-Timer support on one party
    - media - monitor the media in order to figure out when the call is 
actually ended and log this also. But this requires the force media via 
your proxy and also to have some devel on a media relay for acc support.

regards,
bogdan
