Hi list,

I'm trying to use Kamailio 4.4.4 with rtpengine in a self-inflicted
emergency situation (didn't monitor traffic growth properly and now
encountering packet loss during peak times) as a drop-in replacement for
an overloaded Asterisk box in a call-termination-to-upstream-carrier
scenario.

My test scenario is to make a call from a SIP softphone to Asterisk IP
1.1.1.1 -> Kamailio/rtpengine IP 2.2.2.2 -> Upstream carrier 3.3.3.3

sngrep on Kamailio box 2.2.2.2 - the following SDP will not work -
carrier is rejecting it. Carrier is authenticating our calls based on
our IP address 2.2.2.2, no username/pass involved.

I'm comparing this rejected INVITE to a successful INVITE sent by the
original Asterisk box at IP 2.2.2.2 (now Kamailio box) to the carrier
without Kamailio in the path, and these are the differences I noticed,
and probably the things I have to mimick with Kamailio in order to make
it work:

INVITE sip:+32xxxxxxxxx@2.2.2.2;user=phone SIP/2.0
should be
INVITE sip:+32xxxxxxxxx@3.3.3.3;user=phone SIP/2.0

To: <sip:+32xxxxxxxx@2.2.2.2;user=phone>
should be
To: <sip:+32xxxxxxxx@3.3.3.3;user=phone>

From: "61xxxxxxxxx" <sip:+61xxxxxxxxx@1.1.1.1>;tag=as3d75aadd
should be
From: "61xxxxxxxxx" <sip:+61xxxxxxxxx@2.2.2.2>;tag=as3d75aadd

Contact: <sip:+61xxxxxxxxx@1.1.1.1:5060>
should be
Contact: <sip:+61xxxxxxxxx@2.2.2.2:5060>

Call-ID: 3f31e1622a72b6d17f24e42362f4f1d0@1.1.1.1:5060
should be
Call-ID: 3f31e1622a72b6d17f24e42362f4f1d0@2.2.2.2:5060

o=root 1093000903 1093000903 IN IP4 1.1.1.1
should be
o=root 1093000903 1093000903 IN IP4 2.2.2.2

My kamailio.cfg can be found here: https://pastebin.com/6PKcRjPU

These are the Asterisk boxes I want to originate calls from to Kamailio:

[root@voip30 ~]# kamctl address show
+-----+-----+----------+------+------+-----------+
| id  | grp | ip_addr  | mask | port | tag       |
+-----+-----+----------+------+------+-----------+
| 195 |   1 | 1.1.1.1  |   32 |    0 | voip20.sv |
| 196 |   1 | 1.1.1.2  |   32 |    0 | voip21.sv |
| 197 |   1 | 1.1.1.3  |   32 |    0 | voip22.sv |
| 198 |   1 | 1.1.1.4  |   32 |    0 | voip23.sv |
| 199 |   1 | 1.1.1.5  |   32 |    0 | voip24.sv |
| 200 |   1 | 1.1.1.6  |   32 |    0 | voip25.sv |
| 201 |   1 | 1.1.1.7  |   32 |    0 | voip26.sv |
| 202 |   1 | 1.1.1.8  |   32 |    0 | voip27.sv |
| 203 |   1 | 1.1.1.9  |   32 |    0 | voip28.sv |
+-----+-----+----------+------+------+-----------+

This is the upstream carrier I want Kamailio to proxy calls to:

[root@voip30 ~]# kamctl dispatcher show
dispatcher gateways
+----+-------+------------------+-------+-------+------------+------+
| id | setid | destination      | flags | prio. | attrs      | desc |
+----+-------+------------------+-------+-------+------------+------+
| 12 |     1 | sip:3.3.3.3:5060 |     0 |     0 | weight=100 |      |
+----+-------+------------------+-------+-------+------------+------+
(output manually slightly modified to look properly over E-Mail)

As you might have guessed I'm a Kamailio noob... and don't have the
resources to learn it as fast as I must to avoid further packet loss. If
there's anyone available who can help me to get this done today,
optionally in exchange for money, I'd be grateful.

Thank you!
Markus
