Igbal,
Normally, you would want carrier traffic to go thru your proxy so you can
authenticate and authorize the request. From that point on, you can use
routing/forwarding to send the request to a proper terminating gateway or
another proxy. That way, your customer only has to work with a single IP
address when sending you traffic. However, if you really want to give them
your cisco's ip address then you can configure you cisco gateway for radius
or diameter accounting. Using open source radius servers, you can output
radius records into the database like mysql or other relational database.
You can use tools like

your billing.
Hope this helps

Subject: [Serusers] SIP interconnect best practice
Hi
I am looking at exchanging/carrying traffic for a international company,
who wishes to terminate locally, they want to hand me SIP traffic, now
what the easist setup for billing on something like this, I dont think
it needs to pass via SER at all, since they would have done all the
processing b4 it hit me, hence should I just connect directly to the
gateway (cisco), and then take care of the billing there.
tks
Iqbal
