Udp:
219469376 packets received
154 packets to unknown port received.
16936 packet receive errors
261877247 packets sent
This is from a box which is loaded close to the limit of the number of
users a single box can handle. Yet the packet loss is only 0.0077%, which
is insignificant and can be dealt with by the retransmission mechanism.
My issue with what you're proposing is that it tries to modify the SIP
callflow to something no specified in the RFC, to solve a non-SIP
problem. I also do not like the idea that the proxy would keep
retransmitting on a branch after the originator has canceled the call.
