Hello list,

Hope you all doing well!

I have a setup of Kamailio + RTPEngine (so no B2BUA), and I've come to a situation which I can't really figure out the best decision.....

The case is a late SDP negotiation that the 200Ok with the SDP offer fails to engage the RTPEngine (for example no RTPEngine available). Also, the same problem can happen with a normal SDP negotiation, in case the INVITE goes through normally but then when engaging the SDP answer for the 200Ok, the RTPengine answer request fails for any reason...

In these cases, I can't generate a proper SDP for the 200OOk so the call will connect normally, but the media path will be broken...

So for such cases, I am thinking it is reasonable to fail the call. However, failing a call during the 200Ok stage is tricky, at this point we can't convert the 200Ok to a 50X. I tried and Kamailio doesn't allow and also RFC wise this is a no no for a SIP proxy....

I could completely remove the SDP body and forward the 200Ok. This will force a failed SDP negotiation and leave it for the endpoints the task to terminate the call. Is that acceptable? Has anyone faced such situation?

Kind regards,

Patrick Wakano
