Your input is very helpful.
Are there ways for TU to detect TID leaks and free the lost TIDs?
If yes, how? If no, it is tough to use this stateful stack.
Could the stateless resip stack be used in order to get rid of TIDs
issue and hughe memory holding (32 to 64 seconds holding time for each
request)?
Thanks
