Hello, 

We are running Kamailio as a registration point for our SIP phones, which then 
interacts with Asterisk. SIP registrations are processed by Kamailio, but 
everything else is passed to Asterisk. The Kamailio configuration is close to 
the article at: 
http://kb.asipto.com/asterisk:realtime:kamailio-3.1.x-asterisk-1.6.2-astdb. 
Everything seems to be working well, until today. 

I found several calls today that were still connected to our provider, even 
though our SIP phones were not active. There were three calls with timers at 9 
hours and counting. We had some IP connectivity issues earlier today, and I'm 
wonder if it's related. 

If a SIP phone was connected and on a call (through kamailio), and the 
kamailio/asterisk servers became unreachable, the SIP phones will drop the 
call. But, it appears that kamailio/asterisk never drop the call in this case, 
and the call stays live with the carrier. I had to manually kill the calls by 
command prompt. 

What's the best way to handle this? Is there a way to have kamailio or asterisk 
poll the phone to see if it's still on the call or something? How can I give 
visibility to asterisk or kamailio so the calls are always dropped properly? I 
don't want to run up a large bill because of calls that didn't terminate when 
they should have. 

Thanks! 
Brett
