You can, but from what I have heard (when I looked at it a few months
ago) it was pretty useless, so I would avoid it.
If you have alot of BYE, then that is where the difference is, all those
INVITES without a BYE you are not accounting for, but the gateway
provider always gets a BYE. Now you need to work out why you are not
getting the BYE, either the gateway is not sending them to you, which I
find strange, or if they are sending you are not recording...which again
is strange because you would either record none, OR all.
Maybe the calle is not hanging up the call for whatever reason, if that
is the case no BYE will get sent, but what your gateway provider should
do is to send you a BYE if their is a period of inactivity, if they dont
, u might need to find other clever solutions, by using session-timers,
to ask for re-invites from the user, and if you dont get them, insert a
BYE yourself.

Hello,
I've asked this question in serusers and serdevel. Noone answered,
so I thought I'd ask it here about openser.
I haven't tried openser yet, it's on my todo list.
I saw that openser implemented connection pool for mysql backend.
What about postgres? My guess is that every module using databse
opens a separate connection and the number of concurrent connections
will be the number of such modules multiplied by number of children?
Is it true? If so, are there any plans for connection pool for postgres?
Also it's been noticed and confirmed by Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul that
there are problems linking ser to multi-threaded libraries like libpq.
Has it been addressed by openser?
Also I'm curious whether number of children in openser is limited to a
given startup value or it is able to fork additional children as needed?
Thank you,
Michael
The fields seem to be correct at a first glance, as long as you are
matching INVITE and BYE, it should be okay. I presume your not allowing
users to do anything like call forwarding, if you are the accounting
fields for that are slightly different.
10% diff per month is alot, is it in the favour of the gateway...if its
in your favour...dont tell anyone :-)
Is the number of calls to a particular country add up, i.e ser shows 10
calls to India, does the gateway also, is there a particular country
destination which is showing the largest incorrect minutes.
When you hang up a call, have u checked to see how quickly the BYE hits
your acc table, and what the time stamp on it is, especially if the
callee hangs up, i.e the BYE comes from the gateway.
Do you have any unmatched calls, i.e INVITES without a BYE, if so how many.
Any problems with power failures i.e endpoints not being able to send a BYE.

We are averaging 17000 minutes a month. The gateway provider will give us a
weekly report that has number of minutes per country, it's not detailed per
call.
actually sir i'm more worried if it's a problem on my billing system, am I
using the right fields to extract the data?

Hi list,
I'm having problem with my accounting, I have a SIP server and I'm using a
commercial gateway provider where I can terminate calls.
Unfortunately, there's a big discrepancy on the number of minutes I see on
my billing system, compared to the billing of the gateway provider. Every
month there's always almost a thousand or more minutes diiference.
For my billing system, i used the following fields to get the start of call,
sip_method=INVITE sip_status=200 and username='username of caller', then to
get the end of call, sip_method sip_callid totag and fromtag. are these
correct?
Am I doing something wrong there? Also someone told me I need a B2BUA for
the calls to be accurate, is this true?Hope anyone can help me. TIA

recent discussion about gateways got me thinking, surely there are
enough people on this list, with gateways in most major countries, would
it not be cost effective (havent number crunched here) if we could
somehow interlink our ser proxies, to route traffic across to the
nearest proxy. Again not fully sure of the benefits.
eg ser is the US, who has US DID's etc, and I wanted them, I could
realistically purchase from that local SER guy, as opposed to having to
go through all the interconnect stuff, and finding a partner myself.
Maybe a ser-business mailing list for this might be useful.

Hi
This is the second time I apply the t.38 patch to a ned mediaproxy version.
I have attached a new mediaproxy version, 1.4.2 with the t.38 patch from
a.granig integrated.
I hope that I do not need to apply it again to "newer" version.
Kind regards,
Ingo Wolfsberger

Hi all
I want to use a contact adress configure in serweb to map an public
sip address on a private sip address on my local sip network :
for exemple :
local sip address is : sip:mobi2@"local domain name"
public sip is address : sip:jcfesantieu@iptel.org
i have configure the contact on serweb :
serctl fifo ul_show_contact location mobi2
<sip:jcfesantieu@iptel.org>;q=1.00;expires=969
<sip:mobi2@172.21.30.3:5061>;q=0.00;expires=1415
mobi1 and mobi2 are REGISTER on my ser router .
when i want to call mobi2 from mobi1 , it's works . But when i want to
call jcfesantieu(a)iptel.org ; the " user not found " error message
appear .
I have made many tests in the file configuration ser.cfg but it's
still don't work.
What kind of configuration should i use in ser.cfg to use contact ?
Valued Colleagues,
I am trying to implement the FindMeFollowMe service for ser.
Does anyone know of any sample ser.cfg that implements this service
so that I can use as a starting point?
I have implemented my own version but it has problems!
Thanks
ramin
