Hello Everyone, Does anyone have experience in deploying Kamailio, Asterisk and RTPProxy to a dockerized environment with K8s? In short, we are looking to deploy the following applications to our Kubernetes environment to support a SIP based PBX for our company: - Kamailio (Sip Proxy with DID, Outbound, edge routing and LB capabilities) - Asterisk Realtime (PBX, IVR) - RTPProxy (Media Relay) Has anyone been successful, or failed, in doing this? I would love to hear from you. Terrance

Re: sr-users Digest, Vol 211, Issue 47

by Luke Escudé

It's not easy and takes a long time to perfect, but our entire VoIP infrastructure is Dockerized, and composed of Asterisk, MySQL, Redis, NodeJS and Kamailio+RTPEngine (not rtpproxy, since rtpproxy isn't maintained anymore). No docker-level port forwarding required anywhere, since the entire system is designed to be volatile (see below). We have over 500 Asterisk docker containers running, supporting many thousands of users across the world at this point, and it works quite well, so it can be done. The concept behind the Asterisk containers is designing everything to be completely volatile: Outages happen, even in datacenters, so assume a container will reboot at some point on some random node at some random datacenter location. You don't know Asterisk's private IP, you don't even know where it might pop back up in the cluster. If you can ensure service continuity in that scenario, then you've built a solid setup. Our uptime has been 100% for over 4 years now (this is 3rd-party monitored and validated, in addition to our internal monitoring systems) so I assure you it is very possible. I also HIGHLY recommend not using a cloud provider for any of the core infrastructure. We tried this, with AWS and GCP, and the voip quality was... meh. The cloud outages were frequent, although customers generally don't notice them when you're using lightweight containers to run everything. So we are fully operating on our own hardware across multiple colo locations, and only using cloud for file storage (eFaxes, voicemails, greetings/recordings, MMS content, phone LCD background images for provisioning, etc). I am unable to help with your project, but I can at least provide the above pointers/experiences in case they get you in the right direction. An alternative to building your own infrastructure might be reselling (white label) an existing service provider as well, in case the decision to build your own infrastructure is still up in the air.

IMS integration with AS

by Oleg Belousov

Hi. Can you please advise if existing ims implementation supports integration with ims AS (Application Server), in particular for the third party registration: - upon UE registration is completed, S-CSCF constructs Register message (which keeps all details of subscriber register message) and submits it to AS server as regular SIP-message (TS 24.229 5.4.1.7 Notification of Application Servers about registration status). S-CSCF obtains AS address from SAA (Server Assignment Answer) diameter message, received from HSS upon successful registration. -- obelousov.tel

How to make a branch trigger persistent (still being active after failure route is triggered)?

by Benoît Panizzon

Hi List Some time ago, during my learning curve with kamailio, I learned that a branch route is where you make modifications to callerId's. So I extensively re-engineered the config to move as much as possible of callerid modification into branch routes. But now I discovered, when a call is dispatched via dispatch group with multiple destinations and one destination fails, therefore the failure route is triggered, the branch route is not being called on the second attempt, thus callerid being in the wrong format. Example: dispatcher.lst As an example, consider having dispatcher group 2001 for national traffic over two dedicated links and Dispatcher group 2002 for international traffic. 2001 sip:192.168.1.1:5060 0 0 name="Carrier1" 2001 sip:192.168.2.1:5060 0 0 name="Carrier1" 2002 sip:192.168.1.3:5060 0 0 name="Carrier2" request_route { # We determine where we want to send the call # and choose dispatch group 2001, the 'national' one. # But there are are other dispatch groups and branch triggers # set this way and routed to DISPATCHCALL $avp(dispgroup) = 2001; t_on_branch("BR_TO_NATIONAL"); route(DISPATCHCALL); } route[DISPATCHCALL] { t_set_fr(120000,1500); # Fast Failover t_set_max_lifetime(300000,0); t_set_retr(200,800); if (ds_select_dst("$avp(dispgroup)", "6")) { if (ds_is_from_list(-1,0,"$du")) { t_on_failure("DISPATCH_FAILURE"); route(RELAY); } } } branch_route[BR_TO_NATIONAL] { # Here I make sure, all CallerId and Header are correct for the # national Carrier } failure_route[DISPATCH_FAILURE] { if (t_check_status("(5[0-9][0-9])") or (t_branch_timeout() and !t_branch_replied())) { # Try next DS. if (ds_next_dst()) { xlog("L_INFO", " --> retargeting request\n"); t_on_failure("DISPATCH_FAILURE"); route(RELAY); #### RIGHT HERE! exit; } } # We fail xlog("L_ERROR", "Call Failed\n"); } My issue is not, that if the call is routed after the first path failed (marked with #### RIGHT HERE!) then the appropriate branch route is not triggered again and the headers are wrong. But I can not set t_on_branch within route[DISPATCHCALL] or route[DISPATCH_FAILURE] because this is called with a different pre-set branch trigger, depending on the target dispatch group. Is there a way to make a branch trigger more persistent? -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen -Benoît Panizzon- @ HomeOffice und normal erreichbar -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

Topoh module not decoding the BYE received from the callee

by Michel Pelletier

Hello, I am using the topoh module and it works fine except for the BYE requests coming from the callee (the person receiving the call). When a BYE is received from the destination of the call, then Kamailio relays it to the dummy IP 127.0.0.8. This is exemplified in the topoh:msg-outgoing and topoh:msg-sending events where the $sndto(ip) is set to 127.0.0.8. I am using all default modparams with topoh. The only modparam I have is for setting the event_callback. I am using Kamailio 5.6.2 with Kemi using python3. Michel Pelletier

dialog_vars accumulating in database?

by Benoit Panizzon

Hi List I noticed that the database is accumulating entries on dialog_vars. I don't know when and why this is happening. Are there any special measures that have to be taken like making sure to unset variables after using them to prevent this? Or is this something which is supposed to happen when kamailio is restarted?

How to unset_dlg_profile in request_route or react more quickly to CANCEL?

by Benoit Panizzon

Hi List Testing failure situations, I discovered unset_dlg_profile can not be used in request_route: I count the channels per customer in a dlg_profile to know when they are busy. Residential POTS customer have 1 channel. Now this situation (Trying to mimik POTS behavior) Kamailio <=> CPE of 'John-Doe' => INVITE set_dlg_profile of John-Doe is 0: Not busy set_dlg_profile of John-Doe +1 <= 100 trying <= 180 ringing == LINK to CPE DISRUPTED == X<= 200 OK (not reaching kamailio) CPE is sending 200 a couple of times and fails. Caller is still hearing ringing tone as it never got 200 OK. The caller does not want to wait longer and hangs up =>X CANCEL (NOT reaching CPE) This is the moment, on which I would like to unset_dlg_profile of John-Doe to mark his channel available again. But the CPE is never going to acknowledge this CANCEL with 487. Unfortunately: unset_dlg_profile(): dialog delete profile cannot be used in request route Only when kamailio has sent CANCEL a couple of times and the failure_route for this CANCEL is triggered, I can remove the call from the dlg_profile of that customer within failure_route. If I am unlucky, in the meantime other calls get 'busy' instead of being re-routed to the configured backup number of that customer. Agreed, after a couple of seconds, the call goes to the failure route and the dialogue is ending thus calls work as expected. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to unset the dlg_profile upon receiving the CANCEL instead on when the CANCEL transaction is successful?

DNS Host-Names in Via and Record-Route for more redundancy?

by Benoit Panizzon

Hi Folks We use two 'core' instances and two 'registrar' instances. The pairs sync their information (Dialogues + Locations) via DMQ. But I noticed that they record the Via and Record-Routes by IP addresses. So I guess if one fails, signaling would not automatically switch to the remaining host as the IP of the failed one is in the header, right? So, is there a way to put a DNS resolvable host-name in the Via and Record-Route header, so that DNS round-robin would make sure requests reach the available server if one of the pairs fails?

Multiple websocket connections with the same port

by Benjamín Visón

Hello! I'm examining the WebSocket module and I am wondering how it handles multiple connections from the same port. For context, imagine the following scenario: UA1 ==> Load Balancer:41914 ==> Kamailio (WS) UA2 ==> Load Balancer:41914 ==> Kamailio (WS) Now, imagine Kamailio perceives UA1 from port 41914. What happens if that UA1 suddenly drops and another UA2 comes in from the same port? (before the connection closed event is fired for UA1) I understand by looking at the source code that `wsconn_add` is called and that this new connection is added to the list. But what happens with the previous UA entry? does it gets overwritten or does it stays there? The reason for my question is: I am perceiving the above scenario like this: Let's say UA1 is *sip:d3315cf8@9a431b1f90e5.invalid;transport=ws SIP/2.0* and UA2 is *sip:asd08a08@555343439666.invalid;transport=ws. *If UA2 comes in and takes over the port that UA1 was using, and I send an INVITE to UA1 UA2 ends up receiving the invite (obviously because it now has that port allocated). So what I am thinking is that both *d3315cf8(a)9a431b1f90e5.invalid *and *asd08a08(a)555343439666.invalid *are mapped to the same port for a short period of time. Thoughts?
