[Serusers] Re: [Users] Detecting runaway calls

[Federico Giannici]

Bogdan, can you give us more details of your plans?

We have to decide how to deal with the problem of killing a call in 
progress and detect an hunged-up call.

I'd like to avoid the use of a B2BUA, so I'd like to know if, when and 
how you plan to obtain this. I really cannot understand how you will 
achieve this simply with a SER module. You need some way to store all 
the data of dialogs in progress... Don't you?


Thanks.
