    • try to find idle or disconnected dialog (ping-like, get statistic from rtpproxy or some other method) and close it with accounting generating

  3. better diameter support
    • Ovidiu Sas
    • status: needs update
  4. SIPS url support
    • get rid of hard coded “sip” in modules
    • enhance parser

  6. replace integrated assembler code with system provided assembler functions
    • Bogdan
