Re: [SR-Users] Very inconsistent calls

Thank you. Yes I have been doing packet capturing and it does appear that sometimes there is a missing ACK back from Kamailio; it is just so, so confusing as to why sometimes (often, depending the provider) it works. Your thoughts do help though! -Steve -----Original Message----- From: sr-users [mailto:sr-users-bounces@lists.kamailio.org] On Behalf Of Michael Young Sent: Monday, February 12, 2018 8:59 AM To: 'Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List' <sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org> Subject: Re: [SR-Users] Very inconsistent calls Do that google search. You aren't the only person who experiences that. For instance, it can be caused by having multiple UAs behind a NAT router\firewall with a poor connection tracking implementation. The firewall can get confused and at times route an ACK to the wrong UA (As Brandon Armstead said, "this issue occurs when ACK is not routed to proper contact.") Without details on your topology, no one here would be able to help you troubleshoot further or make other suggestions. There is no substitute for packet capturing and a clear understanding of the call flow.

This is what is strange. -----Original Message----- From: sr-users [mailto:sr-users-bounces@lists.kamailio.org] On Behalf Of Michael Young Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2018 9:07 PM To: 'Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List' <sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org> Subject: Re: [SR-Users] Very inconsistent calls And just to add to Alex's comment -- in my experience this is almost always a firewall issue. Whenever I see a call drop in 32 seconds, it is usually because a firewall did not allow the ACK through. Google "Asterisk drops calls after 32 seconds" and you get 1,180,000 results... and the problem is not Asterisk itself.

However, the typical reason why an established call would drop after ~30 sec (32, to be precise) is that the end-to-end ACK from the caller, which completes the required "three-way handshake" for call establishment, does not reach the callee. This is because it's not constructed correctly by the calling UA, not routed correctly by intermediate entities, or isn't sent at all by the calling UA. -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/ _______________________________________________ Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org https://lists.kamailio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users _______________________________________________ Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org https://lists.kamailio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users _______________________________________________ Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org https://lists.kamailio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users _______________________________________________ Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org https://lists.kamailio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users
