Well, I'm still not quite sure what makes a B2BUA an SBC (it probably
just sounds more professional :) ), but in the real world, B2BUAs become
very handy from time to time. Lots of UAs are still pretty broken when
it comes to processing larger (~ >5) Via/Route/Record-Route sets (I'm
looking at you, Cisco). In such cases, chances are high to also exceed
the MTU size, and with fragmentation all this broken SOHO NAT devices
add themselves to the game.

So from my perspective, I highly appreciate your efforts, Stefan!

We're using sippy b2bua in some deployments, where we currently
implement transaction and dialog persistence using redis as a backend,
since it's simple, fast, easy-to-use and offers replication. Thus, you
can replicate states to a standby server and from there continue
processing active transactions and dialogs after a fail-over. Are there
any plans for such a thing on the road-map for sems? Do you see any
show-stoppers implementing this? Either way, I'll definitely have a look
at it to get rid of sippy.
