Mike,
Ok, so you mean that if I want to do some billing with SER I need to
implement b2bua?. Please, how do I implement b2bua with SER ???.
I believe (as an active VoIP+RADIUS admin) that SER should implement
some basic time-accounting. It is not that difficult to do it and it'll
help many many Admins. It could, for example (and I think it'll
definetively work), estimate the Acct-Session-Time by substracting the
time at wich SER receives the BYE message from the time at wich SER
received the 200 OK message. So then SER should build the
Acct-Session-Time attribute with that value, and SER would send this
attribute to RADIUS, and so help the billing systems, as the one I own.
Just an Idea.
Regards,
Lucas

Finally, with
the help of many, I could do accounting using
SER+IC-RADIUs. The thing was just setting setflag(1) at the very
beginning, just after the route{. I still do not
understand why I'm
getting to Acct-Start records, but, well ... accounting
is working.
But not completely well. Because, when I receive the Acct-Stop
message, my billing system expects the Acct-Time-Session
Attribute
with the total time used during the session. As no
Acct-Session-Time
is received, no billing can be done. Anybody knows how to
send that
Attribute to RADIUS. thanx.

It's impossible to do with SER because it's stateless proxy,
you need b2bua for this functionality.
