In that case, yes, this is possible to do using the CDRs put out by
the 'acc' module.

Hi, Rajesh

Just have in thoughts that this time will be the time between the ACK
related to the "18x-Progress" message and the BYE. So, in case that a
PSTN termination is done, this time will not be the real 'line'
duration, but the 'sip-channel' duration time. Two very diferent things.

For a more accurate time generate CDRs based on info from, one of two:
1) the GW, or 2) B2B/mediaproxy/rtproxy.

Edson.

This is not correct.

ACKs are not sent in response to 1xx-class provisional messages,
except when PRACK (100rel) is used--which your sentence does not imply.

The CDRs put out by 'acc' are digests of various call progress events;
  it is up to you to calculate the time difference between a 200 OK
(in response to an INVITE transaction if you wish) and a BYE, using,
for example, database triggers.

The solution to this problem does not revolve around the use of a
media proxy, nor is reliance on a media proxy intrinsically "more
accurate."

Hi, Alex

You are right... the ACK is related to the INVITE not the 18x
messages... the 18x messages appear between INVITES and the related
ACKs.... my bad... :)

But I think that Rajesh got the idea... ;)
