Yeah I just noticed that INVITE & BYE time difference gives accurate
duration of the call. We can drop using ACK now :)
Are there any standards for storing records for multi-leg accounting? I
tried to find it but didn't get success. Can you please suggest which way we
should store CDR to identify the records properly?

Well, depends of how you process the ACC infor for
building CDRs - that was
more an opinion/recommendation than a must :).
Regarding the ACK and call duration -- actually the media starts to flow
immediately after the 200OK (when the INVITE log is generated) - most of the
devices wait for ACK as confirmation that everything is ok and not for
starting the call.

I was thinking it should generate 9 records so
it'll show up as 3
different calls so we can show CDR properly in web interface as well as
calculate billing for users as the user who forwarded the call should be
charged for the call. Also if we get INVITE only then we may not get
accurate duration of call as actual duration starts when callee accepts the
call and ACK is received. Is this scenario wrong?

Perfect !
regarding multi-leg calls - first of all, there is no need to
enabled in for ACK and BYEs - make no sense. usually you want to
see all the legs of the call for INVITE.
Now, about how many records you get - depends on how many AVPs
(used of multi-leg acc) you set from the script. If you 3 INVITEs,
means you add 3 values for at least of the AVPs .

I had put setflag after t_newtran() previously. Now I moved it
before t_newtran() and got records for INVITE, ACK & BYE for
normal call perfectly. :)
Then I tested for call forwarding scenario. In this case
forwarding is set as below:
90004 -> 90001 -> 90003.
I called 90004 from 90002 and I got 7 records in acc table. 3
INVITEs, 3 BYEs and only single ACK. Shouldn't it log 3 ACK
messages?

Be sure you set the accounting flag before any t_relay() or
t_newtran() for the INVITE. To be sure, try to use log/xlog
to put
some debugs in your script and check if the flag is really set
before t_relay().

I configured simple acc module to store records in acc
table,
set proper flags. Then tried to call number
directly(not with
forwarding) but still I get only BYE record. Any
suggestion?

Hi Ruchir,
There are two aspects here:
1) making acc to work - setting the flags and
getting the ACC
records
2) enabling multi-leg account and putting more
info into the
accounted info
First you should to solve (1) - just getting a
simple ACC
record
for INVITEs and BYEs (no multi leg accounting) - it this
working
for you or you get only BYE acc?

Hi All,
I'm trying to configure OpenSER with multi-leg
accounting. I'm
using OpenSER 1.2 & radius. I'm using acc_radius
table for
writing cdr records. I've searched through
several articles
and mailing list posts about configuring multi-leg
accounting
and everywhere they talk about setting up
multi-leg-info
parameter of acc module to configure leg source &
destination
and setting up accounting flag. But this is not
working for
me. I get only BYE record in table if I use this
way to
write
multiple records for one call in call forwarding
scenario. I
managed to get multiple records by calling
acc_rad_request on
INVITE, ACK, BYE & CANCEL. For instance, I have
4 users;
90001, 90002, 90003, 90004. The call forwarding is
setup as below:
90004 -> 90001 -> 90003.
I dial 90004 from 90002 user and it forwards the
call
to 90001
& then 90003 and they're connected properlry.
However I
don't
get leg source/destination properly and also I
get 7-8 bye
records for this call. Can anyone guide me in right
direction
if I'm doing anything wrong.
Regards,
Ruchir
