[SR-Users] Re: Dispatcher Incoming

I've had numerous customers who have needed the functionality, and ended up having to use something like the "imaginative" Contact workaround instead. I suppose it's hard to say whether the functionality was strictly necessary or born of a more puristic sensibility about how to make the proxy trapezoid work. :-) However, a very common scenario for us is a customer from chan_sip to chan_pjsip, and having previously relied on Path support because it existed in chan_sip for approximately a decade. This means we had to totally rearchitect their systems, some of which have been very stable for about that long. No, it's not that I'm entitled and think open-source projects owe us something for free, of course. But from a product management point of view, I think this is quite embarrassing. It's better to never have offered Path at all than to implement it (with considerable fanfare at the time!), then break it via a mandatory and quite controversial upgrade path (chan_sip -> chan_pjsip), then obstinately refuse to fix it. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov Principal Consultant Evariste Systems LLC Web: https://evaristesys.com Tel: +1-706-510-6800
