Hi

While I'm trying to get the provider fix the SBC, I am implementing the workaround. 

Almost done here, storing and retrieving the correct address is fine, but when I set my $ru to the corrected value (asterisk IP), the t_relay still sends the packet to the kamailio IP - 

$ru="sip:number@asteriskip:5060";

if (!t_relay()) {

....

Why would the t_relay forward to the kamailio IP and not the asterisk ?

Many, many thanks !

I've posted the full dialog unredacted here: https://pastebin.com/EE9iwgZf

The OK from Kamailio back to VOIP provider has

Record-Route: <sip:KAMAILIOIP;lr=on;ftag=SD2rbta01-8dd0e72b-0016-0379-0000-0000;did=e0c.e0a1>

Contact: <sip:NUMBER@ASTERISKIP:5060>

So my understanding is that the ACK should be 

ACK sip:NUMBER@ASTERISKIP:5060 SIP/2.0

....

and not

ACK sip:NUMBER@KAMAILIOIP:5060 SIP/2.0

Am I understanding correctly ?

Thanks for this answer. The voip provider is not really eager to alter its SBC as it considers that the contact field is not mandatory in the ACK. The RFC states (section 8.1.1.8)

 

The problem is not that the ACK doesn't carry a Contact header. The problem is that the ACK is constructed incorrectly. This is what the RfC says to UAC behavior (section 12.1.2):

The route set MUST be set to the list of URIs in the Record-Route header field from the response, taken in reverse order and preserving all URI parameters. If no Record-Route header field is present in the response, the route set MUST be set to the empty set. This route set, even if empty, overrides any pre-existing route set for future requests in this dialog. The remote target MUST be set to the URI from the Contact header field of the response. 

This is what the carrier's SBC gets wrong. It doesn't address your Asterisk but instead addresses your Kamailio, although the Contact of your 200 OK (hopefully) contains the Asterisk IP.

Please verify that your 200 OK going to the carrier actually does carry a Contact header with the Asterisk IP, but if it does, section 12.1.2 of the SIP RfC could help when arguing with the carrier.

Sebastian
