[Serusers] General Question on BYE

Hi,

I have see recent discussions on this topic among developers but I am trying to ask a general question without getting into ser.cfg and 0.9x vs 2.x comparisons.

My Question:

What are the practical reasons why SER 2.0 would simply ignore "BYE" messages sent to it from a gateway when the user terminates a call?

user => gateway => ser => gateway

Good connection and conversation. When the user hangs up Gateway sends BYE message. SER does not reply or forward to destination gateway. SER never even sees it.

I see the BYE message on tshark but it does not appear in ser.cfg with xlog() statements right at the top or route{}.

Anyone with an opinion or suggestion to offer?
