Really? Next time I will consult with your authority on what works and
does not work in production environments before implementing for
large-scale billing solutions that are perfectly functional, and indeed,
very much in production.
By the way, there are, of course mitigating strategies to minimise risk.
Dialog-stateful modules can end the dialog after a certain timeout,
you can send periodic re-invites with an SDP offer to probe the
endpoints, etc.
It is far wiser than introducing a point of failure, a source of
latency, and a source of huge bandwidth and processing cost into the
call path when you don't need it.
