Hello,
Hello list,After deep investigation I found out that the issue is happening because of the mechanism Kamailio uses to find the most appropriate socket combined with the virtual IP usage....
For socket selection, Kamailio first asks Linux which would be the routing for a certain destination, then matches this outcome with the list of listened sockets.By default Linux will always return the local IP instead of the virtual one. So if Kamailio only binds to the virtual IP, the Linux's returned IP won't match our socket list and then the socket selection fails....So currently Kamailio active/stand-by HA setup with virtual IP in a multi-homed environment does not work properly...We can overcome this by listening to all addresses, but then Kamailio will decide to use the local IP instead of the virtual one, and then the HA idea end up broken....We can also force socket for everything. For regular call routing, this options actually works fine if the script always force some socket, but it seems to be not always possible for local generated messages.
By disabling mhomed and using the dispatcher socket attr to send the OPTIONS message it works for example. But for the LCR module we have no option because apparently the LCR module has only one socket option, and so I am not able have a different socket per gateway.
We can also explicitly set the src address for a routing rule to be the virtual IP instead of the local one. This makes Linux to return the virtual IP instead of the local one. This solution seems fine, but since it is done at linux level, every other service on the box would be affected and every route on the box would needed to be changed..
Another problem I found out is that I am not able to force the socket for local generated messages. It actually crashes Kamailio, and I always get a "core was not generated" msg.... anyone aware of that?
The actual fix for this, would be having Kamailio to search the most appropriate socket in a different manner. It could loop the sockets and see which one reaches the destination instead of asking Linux to do it, or it could have some routing directives which could be consulted before selecting a socket.... (just ideas, not sure how feasible they are...)
I am considering using the Linux routing change option, but has anyone faced such situation before?
Regards,Patrick Wakano

Patrick WakanoThanks for your time,Hello Daniel,I still couldn't make this SIP probing work.... So currently my setup cannot actively check for GW availability...
Any idea about what may be causing it?

PatrickThanks,This is the first one that pops when dispatcher tries to ping....Apologies for lacking important info, check below the version and sockets.Hi Daniel!Very grateful for your attention!
It may be worth mentioning these IPs are virtual ones and I am using net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1(in this case the virtual IP is assigned to the box)
Interesting that it has a "mhomed: no" for all sockets but I do have mhomed=1 in my cfg file.... could that be the issue?

Hello,
what are the sockets kamailio is listening on? See `kamcmd help` for the command that lists the sockets.
Also, what is the log messages before the first one you pasted, there should be another one printed from get_out_socket().
It is always important to provide kamailio version (kamailio -v) and the operating system you are using.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hello Kamailio list,
Hope you all doing well!
I am stuck with one problem that should be incredibly easy to be done, but apparently it is not.... I want my dispatcher, LCR and nathelper modules to always SIP ping my SIP clients. I have a Kamailio based SBC that is separating two networks, and so I am using the 'mhomed' flag, but none of these SIP pings are working.... for now I will only ask about the dispatcher....
My dispatcher module has to talk with SIP servers in both networks, the thing is when I enable SIP ping for it (modparam("dispatcher", "ds_probing_mode", 1)), it gives me this type of error:
/usr/sbin/kamailio[6164]: ERROR: <core> [core/forward.c:181]: get_out_socket(): no socket found

/usr/sbin/kamailio[6164]: ERROR: dispatcher [dispatch.c:2652]: ds_ping_set(): unable to ping [sip:192.168.33.110:6060]
After research it seems I need to manually set a "socket" attribute for each of my GWs in dispatcher list. After putting the socket parameter for the GW, I got another error:
/usr/sbin/kamailio[14190]: ERROR: <core> [core/socket_info.c:2046]: parse_protohostport(): bad port number in udp:192.168.33.100:5060

What can be wrong in my port info in the socket config? (I tried the socket with and without quotes but had no luck...)
select * from dispatcher where id=2;
id | setid | destination | flags | priority | attrs | description
----+-------+-------------------------+-------+----------+-- ------------------------------ -------------+---------------- -----
2 | 2 | sip:192.168.33.110:6060 | 0 | 0 | socket="udp:192.168.33.100:5060 ";rweight=50 |
(1 row)
Anyhow, I was expecting the 'mhomed' parameter to do the socket selection for me. Regular call routing either by the dispatcher or by LCR, also seems to require me to explicitly set the socket otherwise Kamailio (or the OS) may end up using the wrong socket. So, another question is why 'mhomed' does not dictate the whole socket selection Kamailio has to do regardless the module it is using to send SIP requests?
Sorry for the long e-mail....
Best regards,
Patrick Wakano
