Yes, that is what you suggested before. My comments below were stating that 
that does not work. Specifically, “the match_dialog function must do loose 
routing on its own” because even when I only call match_dialog() from the 
script, I can still see the loose_route processing being triggered in the logs.

Ben,

In 1.11, if you do TH, you should use match_dialog() function and not 
loose_route() at all.

No problem.

Thanks, but I am not using 2.2 and not using the topology_hiding module. I am 
using the Dialog module with the topology_hiding function in 1.11.

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.
