[SR-Users] Detecting calls with missing ACK (Lazy SIP scanners)

I am assuming you're adding Record-Route to your initial INVITEs?

If so, in the case of the answered call, it might be a defective UA that 
doesn't follow Record-Route for in-dialog messages (which include e2e ACK).

In the case of the negative replies, a scanner might not waste 
additional resources sending a formally requisite ACK. It'll just move 
on to the next target, and leave you holding the bag on the 
unacknowledged failed transaction.
