[asterisk-users] Optimizing forwarded and redirected calls by avoiding signaling and media data redirection

[Sree Harsha Totakura]

Hi!

Apparently this is possible; my asterisk server is doing this when my
SIP phone redirects the call with a SIP REFER message.  The phone is
excluded from the call after it transfers the call.

I'll contact my ITSP if their trunk can also do this.

Regards,
Sree
