also let the RTP stream go directly to the final carrier.

The problem is that when calls fail on one route, sometimes there's a long delay before we get a failure code back. If we hangup quickly and move on to the next carrier, often the phone becomes "busy" because the first attempt was actually completing, just slowly. Sometimes we also get improper early media. So waiting for a response is hit/miss on speed, and not waiting for a response is hit/miss on call completion/quality.</div><div><br></div><div>We're only doing $500-1,000 in international right now per month.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm looking for a reliable carrier to move this traffic to.
