Re: [SR-Users] How to retrieve local socket that will be used to send a message from the branch route
Just rectifying about the $snd variable. While the wiki tells that $snd == $sndfrom, I discovered that the $snd == $sndto. So in my case, the $sndfrom(ip) gives me the local socket the message is being sent. However this only works from the onsend_route. I wasn't using this route at all, so now I need to check whether a call to rtpengine_offer will properly work from it.

Re: [SR-Users] How to retrieve local socket that will be used to send a message from the branch route
Yes David, we have all sorts of weird things (specially legacy installations where creativity really shined). Also, in some private network architectures my external interface may not have a public IP at all Anyway, I first thought about applying some logic on the destination IP, but it is only reliable if I know my routing table, and this task Kamailio already performs when relaying The easiest way for now seems to save the info in the DB, so I explicit tell from which socket each GW is reachable And for curiosity I attempted the $snd() variables but they don't have the socket information the $snd(ip) has the destination IP, not my local socket as the doc may suggest.The $branch variable ( http://www.kamailio.org/wiki/cookbooks/5.2.x/pseudovariables#branch_name_-_branch_attributes) was promising but I couldn't figure out when it is set. In my branch_routes it is always null..

Re: [SR-Users] How to retrieve local socket that will be used to send a message from the branch route
Hello, Interesting challenge you’ve got. It may fail in cases where my kernel routing table has some rule where a private IP is reachable via my external interface but different GW for example In this case then, the $du will be a rfc1918 ip but the outgoing interface will be a public ip? Have you tried $send(name) ? The docs state: Send Address Attributes $sndfrom(name) *$snd(name)* - return attributes of the address from where the request is going to be sent (local socket).

Thanks for the replies and examples! Much appreciated! I was thinking of something similar to David suggestion, but I think this is not 100% reliable. It may fail in cases where my kernel routing table has some rule where a private IP is reachable via my external interface but different GW for example (multiple IPs in the same interface or more complex network architecture with VPN or direct link with some endpoint) So given Kamailio already consults the kernel looking for the correct interface to a given destination, I thought this is actually the correct information I should use in my script. The only problem is that apparently Kamailio is not exposing this info for the script writer Karsten suggestion should probably work but in short this is just a way to statically save in DB the network routing information I know before hand. If this route changes (which should not happen often I agree) then I have to update the DB. And also this DB data could be replaced by some logic in my script if I had access to the chosen socket... That's exactly the purpose of having mhomed=1 in the script, I don't need to save socket info for all my GWs in DB because I am letting Kamailio automatically decide it. And it does pretty well! The only problem now is that I don't know what this decision was and I need it to implement the RTPEngine logic in my script based on the interface the INVITE will go out. Happy to hear more ideas!

Re: [SR-Users] How to retrieve local socket that will be used to send a message from the branch route
Hi,
You can also inspect the SDP and look for private or public IPs and perform
some logic based on that.
sdp_get_line_startswith("$avp(sdp_media_ip)", "c=");
if (is_ip_rfc1918("$(avp(sdp_media_ip){s.select,2, })")) {}
The delimiter for the transformation is an empty space in this case.
Hope this helps.

Grant

Hello,
I'm not sure this is the best or even the right way, but i do that by figuring
out where the call is coming from.
In my case, an INVITE from an RFC1918 IP address will always be internal to
external and vice versa.
i.e.:
# If the Source IP is an RFC1918 address, it's coming from an internal
endpoint, so the call is going out
if (is_ip_rfc1918("$si")) {
$dlg_var(rtp_direction) = "direction=internal direction=external";
} else {
$dlg_var(rtp_direction) = "direction=external direction=internal";
}
You may even check both origin and destination domain ($du) and configure
rtpengine accordingly.
onsend_route {
xlog("L_ERR", "[onsend_route] Packet going to $du\n" );
if (is_ip_rfc1918("$si") && is_ip_rfc1918("$du") ) {
# call is internal to internal
} else if (is_ip_rfc1918("$si") && !is_ip_rfc1918("$du")) {
# call is internal to external
} else if (!is_ip_rfc1918("$si") && !is_ip_rfc1918("$du")) {
# call is external to external
} else if (!is_ip_rfc1918("$si") && is_ip_rfc1918("$du")) {
# call is external to internal
}
}
Hope that makes sense and help you a little.

Hi Patrick, If you don't use tls at this moment, the config from sbc OS is also an good example of using dispatcher with the socket params to select the right sendsock and using vars to give rtpengine the right internal / external directions. They use numbers for internal and external. To figure out where the direction is, this config use pseudo vars for receiving local socket https://github.com/voiceboys/sbcOS/blob/master/SbcOS/configs/voice/kamailio/kamailio.cfg#L450 Cheers Karsten Horsmann Patrick Wakano schrieb am Do., 21.
