[Serusers] Re: [Users] Detecting runaway calls

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Greg,

keeping the call control on your hands is an vital need...With the 
tomorrow release I prepared the first steps for a light dialog support 
based on Routing mechanism - complete FROM changing and restoring for 
the whole dialog was the prove of concept :).
By being able to control the call from somewhere in the middle, I target 
especially issue no 2 and why not 4 and 5.

....and all this by avoiding the B2BUA.......

regards,
bogdan
