Hi Ben,

Sorry, I missed your email :(.

But you should not do match_dialog, but topology_hiding_match()
http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/2.2.x/topology_hiding.html#id293644
This is not require any loose_route() or so.

Bogdan,

Just as an update, this does not work. The match_dialog function must do loose routing on its own and even though I call remove_hf(“Route”) before match_dialog(), it still processes the Route header on the incoming message. So match_dialog returns true, but the TH refactoring is not applied and $du is set to the IP from the incoming message’s Route header, which is my server.

Hi Ben,

I see your problem here. So, let's explore this:
1) for sending the call to carrier, on OpenSIPS, you do TH (with advertise) resulting in a Contact with the public IP of the SBC.
2) also, manually add a RR header with the private IP of OpenSIPS.
3) send call to SBC, which will add its own RR stuff.

Now, on the sequential request from Carrier, the RURI will contain the Contact of OpenSIPS (the pub IP of SBC), some Route hdrs due the SBC and the Route we added on OpenSIPS. - when request gets to SBC, the SBC will do loose route, consume its Route headers, and it will use the next available Route which points to the priv IP of OpenSIPS (and it will not use the public IP in RURI for routing) - requests gets to OpenSIPS, simply remove_hf() and Route headers (do not do any loose_route() as it is useless) and hit th_matching -> this will refactor the request (RURI, Contact, Route) for the leg on the other side -> this should be fine.

For the other direction (still sequential), you do th_matching on OpenSIPS and nothing more. This will send a request holding the Routes due the SBC, a Contact with the public IP and and RURI pointing probably to the carrier.

Shortly you do standard TH, but on outbound scenario, add a fake RR header to trick the SBC to route the sequential to your OpenSIPS.

Does it make sense ?

    Here is the scenario:

    My servers are only listening on a private IP address. There is a
    public address on our SBC. I have a carrier that requires that the
    Contact IP address matches the public address we provided to them.
    So when I do TH on my server I have to also do
    set_advertised_address to advertise the public address in the
    Contact header. Sequential requests use the Contact as the Request
    URI and the SBC is doing RR so all requests will come back through
    it. When the SBC receives a sequential request it strips its Route
    headers and forwards to the Request URI (previous Contact URI).
    But that URI now points back to the SBC, so it cannot deliver the
    request. If my server could Record-Route the initial request with
    its private address, the SBC would be able to route the request
    back to it.

    Here is a trace of my scenario: http://pastebin.com/x927mFtq. I
    created it with SIPp so some endpoints are on the same IPs but
    with different ports. The public IP is 192.168.99.100, with port
    7060 representing the PSTN carrier and port 5060 the SBC. The
    private IP is 10.0.2.15, with port 5060 being the SBC again and
    port 6060 being my server. You can see that the ACK cannot be
    delivered correctly to my server with this configuration.

    The problem here stems from the fact that Topology Hiding should
    really be done at the edge of the network in order to be most
    effective. But my OpenSIPS server doesn’t sit on the Edge of the
    network, it is behind an SBC. So TH is complicated by the fact
    that my OpenSIPS has no public IP of its own and must advertise
    the public IP of the SBC instead, but future requests must still
    be routable into the private network. I am really using TH to hide
    the two ends of the call from each other, not to hide my internal
    network topology.

    Hi Ben,

    Sorry to disagree, but IMHO they do exclude one each other.

    Adding RR to TH should not be seen as a way of fixing some broken
    TH scenarios (with advertise).
    So, let me try to understand what is not working for you. You do
    TH and advertise. In this case, normally, in the Contact headers
    generated by OpenSIPS (as a result of TH), it should be the TH
    interface, right ? What exactly seems to be the problem ? do you
    have a trace to show the issues ?

        I understand that normally you would not need RR with TH, but
        the two concepts are not mutually exclusive in SIP. As I said,
        I have a need to Record-Route the call on my server as I am
        advertising a different address than I am listening on. This
        means that TH will populate the Contact header with the
        advertised address and if I cannot Record-Route with the
        actual address then I will not receive sequential requests.

        Hi Ben,

        As I mentioned in different thread, TH is not compatible with
        the RR mechanism. If you do TH, your OpenSIPS will act as and
        end point (from SIP perspective), so there will be no Route/RR
        headers at all. So no need to do loose_route or so. You just
        do TH matching for the sequential requests and nothing more.

            Hi,

            I am using the Dialog module with topology_hiding() in my
            server and I have a need to Record-Route the call on my
            server as I am advertising a different address than I am
            listening on. I have found what I believe is an
            inconsistency in the handling of Record-Route within the
            Dialog topology_hiding functionality. The topology_hiding
            isn’t a true B2BUA, but it does set up different
            parameters for the incoming UAC and outgoing UAS sides of
            the call for the Via headers, Record-Route and Route
            headers, and the Contact header(s).

            The problem is that the record_route() and loose_route()
            functions operate on different sides of the call. The
            record_route() function will only add a Record-Route
            header to the outgoing UAS side of the call. And since the
            record_route() function cannot be called from
            onreply_route, but is no way to add a Record-Route header
            to the UAC side of the call.

            On the other hand, the loose_route() function only
            operates on the incoming UAC side of the call and there is
            no way to perform loose_route() on the UAS side of the call.

            So there is a situation where Record-Route headers can
            only be added on the outgoing UAS side, but the associated
            Route headers can only be removed on the incoming UAC side
            (where they won’t exist since they can’t be added) and any
            added headers on the UAS side cannot be processed properly
            due to the lack of loose_route.

            I can provide further information if this is unclear. It
            should be easily reproducible by attempting to use
            record_route in a topology_hiding scenario. The route is
            added to the outbound leg, but is not removed by
            loose_route so the message is looped back every time.
