The amount of data involved is small. As Martin says design of the data structures and algorithms around them is the tricky (fun) part. The problem, as I see it, is to change isdnd so that it knows the most cost effective point to drop an idle call. That means changing how isdnd views billing data to deal with unit based and time based billing. I would use an external program to turn the accounting data written by isdnd into an estimated bill. That program would be TELCO specific.
