Hello everyone,
I'm quite new at using OpenSIPS, and I'm facing an issue that was
fortunately solved, but I do not fully understand why this solved the
issue... Let me explain.
I'm running an OpenSIPS 1.6.4-2 on the port 5060 while a UA is also
running on the same server, but on port 5062. I've RR configured with
the enable_full_lr parameter set to 1 (I'm planning to remove it, as it
becomes deprecated in 1.7), and multi-domain routing with the server IP
address in the list (with some other aliases). OpenSIPS forwards the
traffic from the local UA to other clients, either local too, or
somewhere else (e.g. via an SBC). The configuration is standard, with
almost no differences with the default script.
[UA 10.0.0.1:5062] <----------> [OpenSIPS 10.0.0.1:5060] <------------->
[Rest of the world]
The UA sends its requests to OpenSIPS, which processes the request
according to the destination. It applies RR and create a Route: as the
trace below suggests, which is the received response:
ACK sip:10.0.0.1:5062 SIP/2.0\r\n
From: <sip:xyz@abc>;tag=-----\r\n
To: <sip:uvw@abc>;tag=-----\r\n
Route: <sip:10.0.0.1;lr=on>\r\n
From what I understand, if OpenSIPS sees one of its own IP addresses as
the RURI (aliases or domain), it will apply strict routing (instead of
the usual loose routing), using the Route: header. In this case, this
would be quite logical: 10.0.0.1 is its IP address, so it uses the
Route: header, and the UA will never receive any response.
I read some very interesting discussions occured during the month of
April concerning this matter ("loose_route: loop on ACK requests" from
Noel R. Morais and "dlg_validate_dialog errors in loose_route" from Jeff
Pyle), and the solution was the same each time: remove the
aliases/domain entries, so that the URI matching (at that time, string
comparison) would not detect the RURI as "myself". A patch was applied
by the end of April with an enhanced URI matching (SIP-wise URI matching).
However, I checked the source code (my C/C++ knowledge is quite rusted,
but I can still understand most of the codes) for the latest 1.6 branch
(1.6.4-2, if I'm not mistaken), and I noticed that this code portion is
already added, but that it, from my succinct C interpretation, only
apply to dialog module. Does RR without dialog handling still requires
the modification mentioned above or am I missing something trivial here?
