Send a megaco message\&. 
.LP
If the function returns \fI{cancel, Reason}\fR, this means the transport module decided not to send the message\&. This is \fInot\fR an error\&. No error messages will be issued and no error counters incremented\&. What actions this will result in depends on what kind of message was sent\&. 
.LP
In the case of requests, megaco will cancel the message in much the same way as if \fImegaco:cancel\fR had been called (after a successfull send)\&. The information will be propagated back to the user differently dependning on how the request(s) where issued: For requests issued using megaco:call, the info will be delivered in the return value\&. For requests issued using \fImegaco:cast\fR the info will be delivered via a call to the callback function handle_trans_reply\&. 
.LP
In the case of reply, megaco will cancel the reply and information of this will be returned to the user via a call to the callback function handle_trans_ack\&. 
.LP
The function \fIsend_message/3\fR will only be called if the resend_indication config option has been set to the value \fIflag\fR\&. The third argument, \fIResend\fR then indicates if the message send is a resend or not\&.

Re-send a megaco message\&. 
.LP
Note that this function will only be called if the user has set the resend_indication config option to \fItrue\fR\fIand\fR it is infact a message resend\&. If not \fIboth\fR of these condition\&'s are meet, \fIsend_message\fR will be called\&.

If the function returns \fI{cancel, Reason}\fR, this means the transport module decided not to send the message\&. This is \fInot\fR an error\&. No error messages will be issued and no error counters incremented\&. What actions this will result in depends on what kind of message was sent\&.
