[OpenSIPS-Users] Killing confirmed no-ack dialogs

[Ovidiu Sas]

First, it needs to be identified how the dialog arrived in that state:
 1. The ACK was not received and in this case the callee should send a BYE:
  1a. The BYE was sent and received by opensips (then it's a bug
handling the BYE);
  1b. The BYE was not sent (and we deal with a bogus callee);
 2. The ACK was received but we had a race between 200ok and ACK (I
don't remember if this race was fixed).

For case 1. the dialog timeout should be set to a short value and the
dialog should autoexpire by itself.
For case 2. the race must be fixed (otherwise we may end up
terminating valid dialogs).

Do you have any additional info that could help identifying the proper
scenario that are we dealing with?


Thanks,
Ovidiu
