Re: [SR-Users] CallControl and MediaProxy

Thanks Sammy. I didn't get any reply yet. CallControl is an application used with CDRTool for prepaid calls. It calculates the maximum call duration based on the user's balance. Once the call's duration limit is reached, it sends BYE to both calling parties, terminating the call. At the end of a prepaid call, terminated either by the user or by CallControl, it debits the user's balance according to the call's duration. The Call_Control module interfaces with this external application. call_control function is called in Kamailio's cfg to check if the user has prepaid or postpaid account, and get the max call duration for prepaid users. CallControl controls only prepaid calls, not postpaid ones. So call control and NAT traversal using mediaproxy are two differents things which i can't link, since I don't want mediaproxy for every call. And since the function call_control is called on every invite before knowing if the user has a prepaid account or not, it engages mediaproxy for every call. CallControl relies on mediaproxy to detect RTP timeouts and debit the correct balance from a prepaid account based on the last instant the mediaproxy saw an RTP packet. But why to force using mediaproxy with no choice? And why to force it for every call, whether it falls under CallControl's control or not? I am using Kamailio 3.2.

I hope somebody could answer you accurately and precisely. btw, what are you using in real? opensips or kamailio, which version? and in what context you need to use the call_control function?
