Hi Michael,
what to do with broken hop-by-hop ACKs ? :) just drop them, otherwise
they will loop on the server.
t_newtran() basically creates a new transaction. If it's ACK and it
matched to an INVITE transaction, it will be silently discarded (so
function will never return to script). If ACk doesn't match, the
function will return; so after t_newtran() you will have only unmatched
ACKs filtered out.
so,
.....
if (is_method("ACK")) { #hop-by-hop ACKs are absorbed here
t_newtran();
# drop broken ACKs
exit;
}
......
should be ok.
regards,
bogdan

Bogdan,
Thanks a lot. Your replies are very useful.
Just couple more questions raised by comments.
What would I want to do with broken ACKs? I thought I'd just drop it.
Also how would I distinguish them? I don't really understand how
you use t_newtran(). Don't real ACKs still need to hit t_relay to
finish transaction?
I thought about something like the following, but so far couldn't find
a way to determine if ACK is matching transaction or not:
if (is_method("ACK")) { #hop-by-hop ACKs are absorbed here
if (in-transaction ACK) {
t_relay();
}
# lost ACKs are dropped
# .......
exit;
}
I've tried to t_lookup_request() to check if it's in transaction, but it
didn't work.
Could you please comment on it?
Thanks,
Michael
