Hi Kevin,

What I mean is; if we are no longer sending frames that need
acknowledgement, then there is the possibility that we just keep on
and on sending frames into thin air when the other side has
disappeared off the network,

Long ago Asterisk's RTP could get caught out like this and burn up a
lot of bandwidth until you "soft hangup"ed the call...
