Daniel,
It looks like you helped me find part of the problem, apparently Proxy A was sharing same branch flag as the one I used to distinguish which proxy it was. I corrected this and now branch flag for branch 1 is 00000060, and branch 2 is 00000040, however now both branches are routed appropriately to the correct server, however the X-Duri (to restore to in the INVITE) is null. Do I need to save this value into an AVP after lookup("location")? Or should it be readily available in branch_route[], and for some reason my variable is null?
P.S. (recap)
Proxy A NAT Branch Flag: 5
Proxy B NAT Branch Flag: 5
(Problem existed as used Flag 5 to distinguish "itself" as proxy) -- changed this to 4 so now:
Proxy A NAT Branch Flag: 4
Proxy B NAT Branch Flag: 6
Calls are routed to Proxy B
X-Duri: <null> (as it is null in Proxy A). I'm append_hf(X-Duri: $du) inside of branch_route[].
Thanks!
So you have the brach flag for nat and branch flags for next proxy, right? What is the value of branch flag? The value are different indeed, but some flags you are looking for might be set. It is easier spot if you print the hexa format of the flags rather than decimal one.

Daniel,
No that would be the UAC (I have two clients behind the same NAT). The problem is it looks like the branch flag is not being set for both for some reason (when comparing) even though in the database it is the same?
Cheers,
Daniel
Take a look at the flag= value from each of those logs (this is one call) to a UAC with two registrations line1/line2.

My question is "Why", I look at the AOR / usrloc and they both
have the "same exact flags set", this call is rather sent
directly to UAC endpoint.

This call is sent to Proxy B (however Proxy B) - however the

lookup("location") result into an avp?
Again, thank you for all and any help, thanks!

Klaus, Inaki, Daniel,
Thanks! Sorry I did not see this email come through, I'm
going to go ahead and give this method a go, and I'll
update with
the results, I have optimistic views.
As for the reason I was rewriting $ru and setting $du to
null, is
because originally when I just changed $du to the 'destination
proxy' it did not seem to work at all (I do not even recall
what
exactly what was happening) however I decided to just
change $ru,
and have the other proxy just "lookup" the usrloc information
again. Again, this method looks interesting and I'll let
you guys
know how it goes, thanks for all the input and help!
Sincerely,
Brandon.

Klaus,
So I took you and Inaki's input and essentially
constructed a setup like so after the
lookup("location") call:
if(isbflagset(1)){
$du = null;
$rd = "P1";
} else if(isbflagset(2)){
$du = null;
$rd = "P2";
} else if(isbflagset(3)){
$du = null;
$rd = "P3";
} else if(isbflagset(4)){
$du = null;
$rd = "P4";
}
1. The above code has to be in the branch_route block -
otherwise multiple registrations of a single user are not
handled correctly.
2. you are rewriting the RURI. You should not do that
as some
clients wants to the in the RURI the Contact provided
during
REGISTER.
3. probably you use fix_nated_register() to store the
public
IP:port of the client too. After lookup, this
information is
written to DURI. Thus, by setting $du you overwrite
this info.
You should put it into a special header so that you can
restore it in the other proxy.
Here a snippet how it should work (untested, no
warranty): ( I
use the term "originating" proxy for the proxy which
received
the INVITE and the term "serving" proxy for the proxy which
handles the connection/registration of a certain SIP
client).
e.g:
Alice -----INVITE-----> P1------->P2----->Bob2
/ \
/ \
/ V
V P3---->Bob3
Bob1
Bob's client Bob1 is connected to P1.
Bob's client Bob2 is connected to P2.
Bob's client Bob3 is connected to P3.
So, P1 is the originating proxy. P2 is the serving proxy of
Bob2. ....
We do NAT traversal (note: we must not call
fix_nated_contact() for messages sent between the
proxies!):
the originating proxy for the call-leg to the caller, the
serving proxy for the call-leg to the callee.
The RTP proxy will be managed by the originating proxy
only.
route{
if (loose_route()) {
... additional loose route processing...
if (check_route_param("rtpproxy=yes")) {
force_rtp_proxy();
setbflag(7);
}
# downstream: in-dialog request is in the same
direction as the
# initial request
if ( (check_route_param("nat=caller") &&
is_direction("downstream"))
|| (check_route_param("nat=callee") &&
is_direction("upstream"))) {
fix_nated_contact();
} else if (check_route_param("nat=both") {
fix_nated_contact();
setbflag(8);
} else {
setbflag(8);
}
t_on_reply("1");
t_relay();
exit();
}
...
# I am proxy 1
if ((src_ip=ip.of.proxy.2) || (src_ip=ip.of.proxy.3)...) {
# request comes from other proxy, that means I am the

if (isbflagset(7) && has_body("application/sdp")) {
force_rtp_proxy()
}
if (isbflagset(8)) {
fix_nated_contact()
}
}
Note: this code does not care about the received socket
of the
proxy. Thus it works if the proxy listens only on one port.
regards
klaus
On each Proxy, I changed the code appropriately
excluding
the Proxy from itself (so it does not forward to
itself).
I'm noticing weird behavior however as it seems as if
what is happening is it created other issues such as:
[INCOMING SERVER] -> P1 -> P2 -> P1 -> (loop?)
Also I setup this test amongst two development
servers (in
which case it worked without issues). Once I
included in
more development instances into the ring it seemed
as if
the flags were being set when they should not be?
I.e. I placed a call FROM UA1 (with bflag 5 SET)
From the
above example configuration ^ code. If you notice
(flag
5) is missing. To UA2 (Flag 3), again this looked
to be
doing some strange things such as acting as if another
flag was set when it should not have been, thus
forwarding
to the wrong proxy or the wrong proxy order. Do
you guys
have any further thoughts or input on this? Thanks!

Hi Brandon!

Brandon Armstead schrieb:
Hello guys,
Is there a method upon using
lookup("location")
to also pull
out the "socket" information for the original
location the UAC
registered to, for scenarios of this example:
P1 & P2 share same usrloc database.
UA1 registers to P1
UA2 registers to P2
UA1 calls UA2
UA1 invites -> P1 -> INVITES -> UA2
(bypassing P2
-- where the
actual nat binding is).
Now upon P1 looking up usrloc for UA2, I
would like
to recognize
that P1 is not the Proxy to deliver the
call, and
forward the
request to P2 to send to UA2.
So currently I have:
UA1 INVITE -> P1 INVITE -> UA2
I wish to have:
UA1 INVITE -> P1 INVITE -> P2 INVITE -> UA2
Is there an easy method to do this? I have been
looking at the
new nat traversal module it looks like it is
doable
with this
(any further input as far as that?). Also is it
possible with
the classic Nat Helper module? Any input is
appreciated, thanks!
I think the nat_traversal module can not help you in
this case, nor
nathelper.
One possibility would be to spoof at P1 the IP
address
of P2 -
nevertheless this would cause the reply sent back to
P2, but the
transaction is created in P1. (and you need to hack
Kamailio for IP
spoofing).
Another easy solution would be: In P1 set a certain
branch-flag when
the client registers, e.g. bflag 1. In P2 set a
certain
branch-flag
when the client registers, e.g. bflag 2.
Now, if a user is called, just make a lookup() and
t_relay. Further
in the branch_route check if:
in P1: isbflagset(2) --> forward to P2
in P2: isbflagset(1) --> forward to P1
