		<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.

	    <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).
