Are there gateways which can tear down active calls on bevave of some

Cisco can tear down on (for instance) lack of rtp/rtcp.
b) Assuming
you have a stateful proxy, the proxy server (with suitable
hackery) - how would the UA/proxy upstream/downstream from the proxy
*know* if the proxy really received a BYE, or just faked one up? So
if you send one BYE in each direction, you get two ACK packets produced
which would perhaps confuse their final recipient, except the proxy
server will eat them.
You would need a call staful proxy (ser is only transaction stateful).
The proxy would have to generate the BYE messages - so per definition -
it is no more a proxy, because proxies don't generate requests on their
own, they just forward requests. So this thing must be called B2BUA.
I know proxies don't *normally* do this, I just can't see why it wouldn't
work if one did (if the requirement is only to produce a BYE). Whatever
you end up calling it.
