Hi Iñaki Baz Castillo, Could you elaborate what does "SIP is not "designed" for billing" mean? I mean there must be some way to do billing on SIP call otherwise how service provider or vendor will get revenue. I understand that one way is by specified duration such as monthly, yearly etc.
In IP-PBX based we might avoid billing but one is really required in IP-Centric SIP call server deployment.

Any call flow example > would highly be appreciated. SIP is not "designed" for billing. Also billing is too much complex and wide to try to explain it in an unique way. Basically billing can be done in a gateway (which handles also the media), in a proxy (very very very vulnerable), in a pure SIP B2BUA (more reliable and secure than a proxy for billing)... There is no magic response. -- Iñaki Baz Castillo <i...@aliax.net> _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list Sip-implementors@lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list Sip-implementors@lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
