Hello all,

I am working on configuring openser as a outbound proxy. User agents register to service provider through openser outbound proxy. I am experiencing issues with retransmissions.

Case 1.

UA sends an INVITE to Proxy and proxy is down. Openser  sends 100 Trying to UA and retransmits INVITE messages to proxy. After 8 retry attempts sends 408 Request time out to handset. All as expected.

Case 2:

Openser received INVITE for UA from proxy. UA is down. Openser sent 100 Trying to proxy and routes reqest to UA. No response from UA and ** Openser did not send any retransmissions of INVITE to UA**. After a while CANCLE arrived at openser and cleared transaction.

why openser does retransmissions in Case 1 and why not in case 2?

Can openser proxy be operated in stateful outbound proxy to take care of retransmissions?

I am using default openser config file. Is there any thing I am doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sid
