Re: [dispatch] Fwd: Re: WG Review: Call Control UUI for SIP (cuss)

Can you tell us about the misuse?  It might be relevant to the expected usage 
of the cuss feature.

I was relevant for that time, when communication was expensive and
telephony was billed per minute...

In Germany's PSTN, carriers are not allowed to bill for signalling,
only for the voice channel usage. Some smart guys built devices which
sent many SETUPs messages with UUI and canceled the call setup
immediately. So they transmitted their information without paying
anything and causing high load on the signalling network.

Thanks

At least within the DT network, UUI is used between application
servers or application servers and "special" end devices as call
centers. As far as I know, UUI is currently not part of the DT normal
telephony package. Many years ago, it was, but people misused it.
