Excuse my asking: What IS the point of doing accounting withopenser,
if it will never be accurate?
That's not true. If you use OpenSer + Radius ACC + MediaProxy + CDRTool (optional) you can get 99% accurate: if a UAC hangs down then it will not send a BYE but neither RTP so MediaProxy will detect it and update vía Radius or SQL.
Other way is using OpenSer ACC in conjunction with a B2BUA or gateways supporting Session Timers. In this case, if the UAC crashes it will not respond to the re-INVITE/UPDATE and the B2BUA/gateway will send a BYE so OpenSer will account the session properly.
True, But this will also bring the added cost of handling rtps, right?
AFAIK those are the existintg ACC ways using accounting into a proxy.
