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.
