Summary: Optimized Dialog Matching

Initial Comment:
We had a look at the dialog module and found the most appropriate dialog 
matching mode (mode 2, or RFC3261 compliant matching) to be broken and 
suboptimal

1.  When looking for a dialog it would carry out a full linear scan of every 
node in the hash table.  We modified the module such that it now does a hash 
table lookup instead of a full scan, nicely boosting the performance of dialog 
matching that is not based on a Record-Route parameter

2.  There was a little difficulty in the fact that, depending on the direction 
of certain messages, the From and To tags could be reversed.  Previously the 
dialog module, when using matching mode 2, would employ the "is_direction()" 
function.  The problem is that is_direction only works if the RR module adds a 
parameter to the Record-Route header!  (which means mode 2 is almost exactly 
the same as mode 0, in that it requires an RR parameter to work properly)  So 
if the function wasn't enabled in the RR module then mode 2 dialog matching 
would fail somtimes (when the far end transmits certain messages, like a BYE)
Our solution was to do a double hash table lookup as were weren't able to find 
any way to determine the direction (or otherwise infer which of the two, From 
and To, should be used in the lookup)

IMO this is very useful. If you use mode=2 to not depend on the
record-route dialog cookie then the dialog module also should not depend on
the ftag parameter.
