Unquoted values from #!defenv
by Ben Kaufman 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

Hello all, Looking for some clarification regarding quoting and !#defenv . I understand that the example below fails because the environmental variable HOME is not quoted, thus when used in the xlog() call it fails. How is it possible to evaluate and/or use the value of the environmental variable if defined as a preprocessor variable? Looking at the documentation the reason for this directive is "It is a simplified alternative of using #!substdef with $env(NAME) in the replacement part." But #!substdef would allow setting the value inside of a quoted string, so does it really meet that requirement? I'm aware that I could use $env(HOME) rather than a preprocessor directive of HOME. I'm just trying to understand the usage of the #!defenv feature. #!KAMAILIO ## Tested in 5.5.2 loadmodule "xlog" loadmodule "pv" loadmodule "evrexec" modparam("evrexec", "exec", "name=evrexec:timer;wait=1000;workers=1;") #!defenv HOME request_route{ forward(); } event_route[evrexec:timer] { xlog("L_N", "HOME: " + HOME + "\n"); } Ben Kaufman

Hi to all, Is it possible to set modules parameters with env values? I know that in routes we can use $env(NAME), but what about for other parameters? for example setting DB address in K8s cluster ENV values. Regards,Hossein

DMQ Usrloc/Dialog - Experiences
by Carsten Bock 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi, I wanted to quickly ask the group about experiences with DMQ and Usrloc/Dialog. I don't expect any issues when choosing such an approach, especially since we would have re-transmits for a message (fr_timer = 30 seconds) if we did not receive any answers or scenarios alike. So I assume, having short "outages" (less than 30 seconds) for the communication is just fine. So far I used DMQ in a non-IMS setup for synchronizing usrloc with ~15k Subscribers and it worked really well. One concern brought up (not by me) was, that synchronizing usrloc with DMQ might not be reliable at scale. I would also love to understand how to treat situations when the communication is lost for a longer period of time (e.g. if the communication between nodes is lost for 5 minutes?). Can anyone share some real-life experiences?

Using path with DMQ to send calls to origin SBC - not sure when to modify destination URI
by Rhys Hanrahan 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

Hi Everyone, I am trying to add DMQ for redundancy of registrations and USRLOC, and I’m trying to send calls to the correct SBC that is the original registrar for a handset. I’ve been using the thread here where Charles gave some guidance on how to use path to store and use the original SBC: https://lists.kamailio.org/pipermail/sr-users/2018-February/100246.html and https://lists.kamailio.org/pipermail/sr-users/2013-September/079736.html I am struggling with when to decide to modify the destination URI. My testing shows this is required otherwise some handsets will ignore the invite, but right now I am doing it in a blanket form, right before SIPOUT (which is where the origin SBC handles the invite instead of LOCATION). I am sure this is being too heavy-handed though and there are some cases where I won’t want to set this, but I am not sure which? # record routing for dialog forming requests (in case they are routed) # - remove preloaded route headers remove_hf("Route"); if (is_method("INVITE|SUBSCRIBE")) { record_route(); } … xlog("Setting du according to path. Current du is $du\n"); xlog("Current route header: $(hdr(Route))\n"); xlog("Current route: $(hdr(Route){uri.host})\n"); >>> $du = $(hdr(Route){param.value,received}); #xlog("New du destination uri is: $du\n"); # dispatch requests to foreign domains route(SIPOUT); In the linked threads, Charles mentioned that only the last-hop registrar should make this change, but what’s the best way to determine if I am on the last-hop registrar? As per the snippet above, I tried using the {uri.host} transformation to extract the origin SBC’s IP from the route header. My plan is to then compare this against “myself” but I am struggling to extract the right info from the route header. And I am not even sure if this is the right general approach? The route header looks like this: <sip:ORIGIN_SBC_IP:5060;received=sip:UAC_WAN_IP:2048;lr> Any guidance or examples would be appreciated. Thanks!

probles with listen advertise address trying to be resolved
by Richard Robson 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

I have a problem when trying to add an advertised address in Kamailio 5.4.2 we have a checf config that is populating various variable. some of these are for the Listeners we have this working and Im getting all protocols for the listeners based on the non _TLS Vars but the TLS config is trying to resolve ADVERTISE_NAT_ADDRESS_TLS. If I try and quote the variable "ADVERTISE_NAT_ADDRESS_TLS" id get an error saying 1.2.3.4:5061 is not resolvable therefroe I have udp,tcp and tls listeners all on the default ports where i need the tls on port 5061 ans not 5060 listen LISTEN_EXTERNAL_SOCKET advertise ADVERTISE_NAT_ADDRESS name = "ext" listen LISTEN_INTERNAL_SOCKET name = "int" listen LISTEN_EXTERNAL_SOCKET_TLS advertise name = "ext-tls" listen LISTEN_INTERNAL_SOCKET_TLS name = "int-tls" the Vars are defined as #!define TOPO_NAT #!substdef "!LISTEN_EXTERNAL_SOCKET!10.10.10.10:5060!g" #!substdef "!LISTEN_INTERNAL_SOCKET!10.10.10.10:5080!g" #!substdef "!ADVERTISE_NAT_ADDRESS!1.2.3.4:5060!g" #!define ENABLE_TLS #!define TLS_CONFIG_FILE "chef-managed/tls.cfg" #!substdef "!LISTEN_EXTERNAL_SOCKET_TLS!tls:10.225.73.16:5061!g" #!substdef "!LISTEN_INTERNAL_SOCKET_TLS!tls:10.225.73.16:5061!g" #!substdef "!ADVERTISE_NAT_ADDRESS_TLS!1.2.3.4:5061!g" REgards, Richard

Kamailio and RTPEngine acting as SBC : wrong IP address returned
by Cyril Ramière 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

Hi there, I'm already using Kamailio as a simple proxy and it worked flawlessly. This time, I need to have a new setup like this: [UAC (sip phone)] <--- register & has to deal only with ----> | PUBLIC | [Kamailio + RtpEngine] | PRIVATE | <----> [Asterisk] Client = 37.100.100.100 (public) Asterisk = 172.17.200.20 (private) Kamailio/RtpEngine = 172.17.203.102 (private, advertising 3.99.99.99 public IP) Kamailio and RtpEngine will behave as a SBC/B2BUA, the client will deal only with kamailio using public access (internet), and asterisk will handle the calls but stays 100% private behind kamailio. Kamailio will handle registrations to reduce the load put on the asterisk boxes. The setup is running on AWS, my Kamailio has 1 Private IP address tied to 1 Public IP address (an Elastic public IP) so, no multi-homing, one network interface. I made a "simple" work in progress configuration, the registration is working as a PoC, and my calls are *almost* working but with some nonsense. My Main issue is that when my UAC (SIP phone) make a call, to let's say +1000, the call enters kamailio, then kamailio handle the invite, trigger rtpEngine, but the IP addresses in Record-Route and Via headers are wrong. >From Kamailio to UAC Sip Phone, it seems OK. But from Kamailio to Asterisk, the record-route/via headers are set with Kamailio Public IP when it should be the Kamailio private IP. So, when Asterisk sends a BYE, it tries to send it to the public IP of Kamailio, which is wrong. There are probably other quirks in the configuration but this one, I can't figure out what's wrong. I'm attaching a capture file, a log file and my configuration file (some informations are redacted). I am missing something and sadly I can't figure out what, a little help would be appreciated :) Regards

Problem implementing Outbound Proxy
by Christoph Russow 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

Hi all, im currently trying to add a Outbound Proxying to our system which right now does inbound loadbalancing for our application servers. Current: Inbound SIP Trunk -> Kamailio -> dispatcher -> ApplicationServer 1..n i now want to add the ability for our internal Application Servers to terminate their outbound calls through the kamailio system. currently i've setup a gateway in the (freeswitch) application server that has the kamailio system set as outbound-proxy. this leads to sip calls started with originate sofia/gateway/kamailio/<number>@<outbound carrier IP> to be sent to the kamailio system which then forwards it to the given carrier IP. Sadly our main carrier answers with "503 service unavailable - no bandwith available". (maybe due to the internal ip-addresses within some of the headers?) i've attached our current kamailio configuration and also a pcap of a call i tried to start with our main carrier. i tried this way as it seemed to be the easiest way so our application servers still can select the outbound carrier within their flow. maybe i'm on the wrong way here and need to solve this problem in a completely different way i don't know. TLDR: sip proxying does not work as expected. need a way to achieve outbound calls routed through kamailio from internal application servers any hint/help into the right direction is appreciated Best Regards Christoph Russow -- ________________________________________________________________ EMTEX GmbH Christoph Russow Software Engineer Bischof-Otto-Weg 9 D-91086 Aurachtal Geschäftsführer: Markus Enzinger Tel. +49 9132 7490 0 Sitz der Gesellschaft: 91086 Aurachtal Fax. +49 9132 7490 900 Amtsgericht Fürth: HRB6804 ________________________________________________________________

Call limiting with Kamailio
by Olli Attila 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

Hello, What choices do I have to implement a feature to Kamailio which would limit calls per customer? The environment: Two kamailio nodes sitting in different sites and they are not aware of each others sessions/dialogs and thus serving customer calls independently. Configurations on the nodes are identical excluding ip addresses. Customer call can be routed through either one of these Kam nodes. The two nodes share a common external mysql database from which all dialplan and htable entries are loaded (used in call routing for example). Customers are identified based on IP address & tel numbering and as a final result we are populating an variable which holds the customer id $var(REALM_NAME) when the identification has been done. The call limiting should be "tagged/profiled" somehow with this information if possible. Any suggestions which way to go with this? Initial ideas if one of these are worth of setting a starting point: -> Counting calls with htable and replicating with DMQ to other node (can the data survive from a restart?) -> Using the common mysql database to hold the counted calls from where both kam nodes could load data? (database load increasing?) -> Some new exciting module for this job? Cheers, Olli
