The B2BUA Subscription Activity Guard feature tracks outstanding subscriptions and invalidates sessions which have not been correctly shut down.
The B2BUA Subscription activity guard feature is used to protect against servers not correctly terminating their subscriptions. For each non-terminating notify that is B2BUAed by Sentinel, this feature starts a timer which fires after the expiration of the notify. If another notify for the same subscription is received, the timer is updated. If a terminating notify is sent, the timer is cleared and removed. If the timer fires, this shows that a terminating notify has not been sent by the server. In this case, the feature invalidates and detaches from both legs of the call, freeing resources and cleaning up as appropriate.
