[asterisk-users] Dial timeout with SIP - how to set timeout for INVITE ACK

"You want to know if the remote address/proxy is up and running before you
bother trying to wait on it for very long. Is this right?" , yes this would be a good start ?
 
- But the IP could be up and the SIP service down, we need a signaling timeout, I beleive a good way in term of responsability would be :
 If I do not receive a response to the SIP INVITE in timeout duration then I would cancel the call and try with another route.
 
- With AGI can we control and react to the signaling events, I guess not ?

Thank you

It sounds as though you want the result of the SIP INVITE (looking for,
say, a provisional 1XX response) and want the timeout to be set for
whether or not you receive the provisional response in time?  i.e. You
want to know if the remote address/proxy is up and running before you
bother trying to wait on it for very long. Is this right? Or am I
missing the point of the question?
