Hi, 

In the end i implemented an rmmod in the if-up.local of the ppp connection, in 
order to remove the sip_nat and sip_conntrack modules everytime a new DSL 
connection is established. 
This fixed the issue and so far no problems, the mileage is good. 
Anyhow i agree that CentOS/RedHat should deliver a patch for this bug, but so 
far i found none. 
I agree that this is an issue with the 2.6.32 kernel CentOs is using and may 
well be patched in kernel v.3 . 

Thanks a lot guys for the insight and help 

Cheers 


Alberto

Oggetto: Re: [Shorewall-users] sip conntrack dropping packets? 

Hello, 

Earlier this year I contacted Patrick McHardy for fixing a SIP conntrack 
problem and he produced a patch. Unfortunately, I do not have the exchanged 
emails although I'd presume the patch made to the netfilter modules upstream. 
The work Patrick did was per contract. He's the maintainer of several 
components. I could have a bit more details next week if needed.\ 

Cheers.

Objet : Re: [Shorewall-users] sip conntrack dropping packets? 

On my CentOS 6.4 box (2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64) I found that nf_conntrack_sip 
and nf_nat_sip caused problems with sip traffic (silently dropping traffic) and 
I run without them. I was getting random non connection issues (failed 
registration) before I removed those modules. My regular custom traffic shaping 
was not effected. 
CentOS tends to ship with older, sometimes incomplete modules so YMMV.

sure they are from sip conntrack module. 
i would like to understand why it happens and if it is a configuration issue. 
i think that removing the modules will hurt the traffic shaping. 

any idea on how to debug?

Those messages are not from the firewall itself, they are from 
nf_conntrack_sip. Have you tried unloading nf_conntrack_sip and nf_nat_sip ?

Btw.. it only happens on one or two phones also, but I can't remember which

I get that too. I've never solved the problem I just stopped rsyslog from 
logging to my console. So if I ever come across a fix I'll post it

Hi, 

i see this on the console and in the firewall logs while i try to make sip 
calls using my sip server (although this appears to happen only from a the 
Counterpath Bria softphone)

after a few drops obviously the SIP call is dropped. 

i searched online for solutions, but apparently there seems to be no technical 
issue for my kernel/netfilter/shorewall version, most probably is related to my 
configuration. 

is there anything standing out for you? 

thank you
