Hello Marian,
So SER indeed need to receive the "200 Ok" from the UA2 before it will send
the accounting stop message to the Radius server? I was hoping SER will send
the stop when it receives the initial BYE from either UA (whichever comes
first)

Hi Matt,
There is no ACK for BYEs - ACK is used only for INVITE requests.
Most probably XLite fails (if receives) to recognize the BYE generated by
the HW phone - the lack of a reply to BYE will lead to retransmissions and
finally to time-out - the extra 30 seconds is exactly the time-out period
for non-INVITe requests.
Best regards,
Marian

Hello List,
First, many thanks to those who replied my previous dumb questions. My SER
0.9.0 with mysql auth and radius accounting with mysql is seemingly
working ok.
I have a question about SER's Radius accounting, but not sure how to ask,
here is my situation:
I'm testing out calls between XLite (caller) and a hardware phone
(callee), but for some reason the call duration is always 30 seconds
longer than actual (For both cases, it's the callee who does the hang up).
I tried calls between XLite and XLite and the duration would be accurate.
So I ngrep-d the traffic for both scenairos, for XLite-XLite's case, the
flow is the side who hangs up (say, UA1) will send the BYE to SER then SER
relays the BYE to UA2. Then UA2 sends an ACK to SER and SER relays the ACK
to UA1. For the XLite to HW phone's case, the phone will still send the
BYE to SER and SER will relay it to XLite. However, XLite will not send an
ACK to SER. And the phone sends another BYE to SER and then SER relays it
to XLite -this is repeated for 5 - 6 times until finally SER will just
send a 408 Request Timeout to the HW Phone. And it seems this is the time
when SER sends the Stop message to the Radius server, and hence the extra
30-sec call duration. So I'm wondering if SER indeed needs the ACK for the
BYE message before sending the accounting stop message to Radius? Or is my
situation caused by some other reasons? Thank you in advance.
