No, if there is no worker to handle the packet, then it is not known 
that it was dropped (in case it was from network buffer) or if it is was 
already in transactions hash table, there has to be a kamailio process 
getting it out of there.

A reason that could be for dropping is the case of invalid sip messages 
-- initial parsing fails and the message doesn't get to routing script.

Cheers,
Daniel
