  I don't like the idea of having 2 or 3 programs in
my path. 
Neither do I :-) Asterisk is a stateful *ahem* softswitch/proxy, that
always generates a BYE. It communicates directly with whatever it
connects to, unless you redirect of course. I wouldn't use Asterisk for
this purpose of course for many reasons either, I was just making a
point :-)

Mediaproxy suffers the same problem, just put the call on hold 
(otherwise it would be idle and terminate after 60 seconds) and pull the

plug, i'm not sure if the same goes for asterisk, but I don't like the 
idea of having 2 or 3 programs in my path.

Kind regards,

 Yes this is a common problem, you would need a stateful
RTP session. 
ie: What Asterisk does, I've found no way to do this without some kind 
of media proxy. You can however log incomplete calls and take 
countermeasures against them, what those would be of course is the 
question.

OK, i've run into a problem with the CDR Creation.

If you have 2 users who call each other, talk a while and then instead
of hanging up decide to pull the plugs from their phones (or terminitate
...

their application), no complete CDR is generated, the INVITE and ACK 
are

logged, but since no one realy hangs up there won't be a BYE record, so
no CDR end/total time and no billable time.
Use the / a rtpproxy you would say, to bad it suffers from the same 
problem, if both partes put the call on hold and pull the plug the call 
...
 keeps existing and once again an incomplete CDR.

Has anyone ever suffered the same problem? And what is the most 
reliable

way to generate CDRs?

Kind regards,

E. Versaevel
