[SIPForum-discussion] SIP billing confusion

[Roy, Nishant Kishore]

Hi Shibli,

When  case 4 is over you will have your port open for data transfer , it means two party is connected so you must start charging from case 4 onwards and as soon as bye accepted i.e case 06 ,you should stop charging , because after accepting bye this party will close the socket at tcp level .

please consider this sip call flow:



A                                        B
01        INVITE
     ----------------------------------->
02       100 TRYING
    <------------------------------------
03       180 Ringing
    <------------------------------------
04       200OK With SDP
   <----------------------------------------
05       ACK
   ------------------------------------------>
06             BYE
   <------------------------------------------
07           200 OK
   ------------------------------------------->


Query:
1. Is there any rfc recommendation when to start bill and stop it, some says its start after 4 and stop at 06 some says its start after 5 and stop at 7?

2. is it ok if someone start bill after 05 and stop after 06?
