			<question>
				<para>Does <emphasis>dispatcher</emphasis> provide a fair distribution?</para>
			</question>
			<answer>
				<para>The algorithms doing hashing over parts of SIP message don't guarantee a fair
					distribution. You should do some measurements to decide what hashing algorithm
					fits better in your environment.</para>
				<para>Other distribution algorithms such as round robin or call load dispatching do
					a fair distribution in terms of delivered calls to gateways.</para>

			<question>
				<para>Is <emphasis>dispatcher</emphasis> dialog stateful?</para>
			</question>
			<answer>
				<para>No. Dispatcher is stateless, although some distribution algorithms are
					designed to select same destination for subsequent requests of the same dialog
					(e.g., hashing the call-id).</para>
