I understand what you're saying, however, I disagree with your
suggestion because me (as a PSTN gateway owner) will be charged tolls
based on the INVITE-to-BYE duration from my carriers for completed
calls.
So if I'm only billing durations from ACK to BYE, then :
1) How would I accurately determine which ACK to account against
considering that many ACKs can happen during any call? For instance,
if you get put on hold or a re-INVITE.
2) Why should I give the customer 30 seconds of free platform time
when my carriers bill me toll charges for that period?
Regards,
Paul

Hi Iqbal,
I think the query u gave is not really correct, the INVITES are the
beginning of the sessions, I think we must use the ACKs for a real
accounting of the call.
Just think, if it takes 30 seconds to the callee to hang on, u will
overcharge him.
I just suggest to replace the INVITES by ACKs.
Regards.

put those queries in mysql and it should lookup your acc table

Hi,
So the only concept on how will I account for duration is to
account for INVITE and BYE methods...BTW, where will I put those
queries? Sorry, I'm in a stage of discovering SER.=)
Thanks,

Ryan,
This MySQL query should do the trick. It joins the acc table to
itself. One side grabs INVITE messages and the other side grabs BYE
messages.
NOTE: This will not work if you account for re-INVITE messages
because you will then have multple INVITEs for the same call.

SELECT t1.from_uri as orig_number, t1.to_uri as term_number,
TIMEDIFF(t2.time, t1.time) as duration, t1.timestamp as calldate
FROM acc t1, acc t2 WHERE t1.sip_callid = t2.sip_callid AND
((t1.fromtag = t2.fromtag and t1.totag = t2.totag) OR
(t1.fromtag = t2.totag and t1.totag = t2.fromtag)) AND
t1.sip_method='INVITE' AND
t2.sip_method='BYE'

its records the INVITE and BYE, so fro there you
can work out the
session duration
