Re: [SR-Users] SDP c= address as a key for a key-value lookup?

Hi All, I am working on a kamailio proxy with a very specific goal I need to accomplish. What I would like to do is a key-value lookup, utilizing the SDP’s media contact (c= line) IP as a key, and have a function return a value for that key. It appears that I can possibly accomplish this with the AVPops module, combined with DB_TEXT (maybe DB_MYSQL in the future) and a custom table with a custom query. The only thing I seem to be missing is the ability to extract the c= IP from the SDP, and store it as some kind of variable with which to do the lookup. I’ve looked into the iptrtpproxy module as it seems to have a select: @iptrtpproxy.sdp_ip that could work, but that module is extreme overkill for my purposes, and I am running into some issues getting it built for my platform (Ubuntu server 12.04). Also the documentation for that select states: “Return first rewritten IP provided at SDP c= line.” However, I’m looking for the original sdp_ip, and have some concern that this won’t return an IP that has not yet been re-written. My environment has a very specific 1:1 ratio of private network, to static public IP mappings. I currently have a successful OpenSER (1.3.2) deployment within this environment (running 5 years), which uses a hacked version of the old “mangler” module, with the function sdp_mangle_ip(<network>, <ip>). I could do something similar using textops->search_body() and nathelper->fix_nated_sdp(), but the risk of a typo or syntax error in the config file every time I have to make a change or add a network is fairly high. Less importantly, there is some extra overhead as the proxy will have to test for every network on every SDP looking for a match (this is what the current deployment does). Eventually I’d like to add a simple frontend to add/edit networks on the fly, so that no one is ever touching the config. What would you folks recommend for this? Should I look at building a custom module which only grabs the c= IP and stores it into an AVP? Am I not seeing another module that will expose that information for me already? Would it simply be easier to work on getting iptrtpproxy built, and utilizing it only for the purpose of extracting the information I need from the SDP? Any insight would be most greatly appreciated.
