A remark for kamailio transaction states point of view: in failure route
the entire transaction is in failed state, so there is not active
branch, so at that point it should delete all (previous) rtpengine
sessions/branches.

Re-routing to a new destinations should go via a branch route where a
new session is initiated in the rtpengine.

As I got it, the use of via-branch flag for deleting a session makes
sense in event route for branch-failure, when other branches can still
be active or one was answered.

Btw, a few questions for further clarifications: if a call has parallel
forking and rtpengine offer is executed for each branch, one is
answered, but the other branch-sessions are not not deleted, what does
rtpengine? It times them out, or keeps them for the duration of the call?

Also in the case of parallel forking, if via-branch is not give to
rtpengine offer command, does the 2nd (and the next) rtpengine offer
command overwrite the previous one, so the rtpengine keeps only the data
from the last one?

Cheers,
Daniel
