Hi,
if a new connection is created and you don't specify $fs or use force_send_socket, again is the OS choosing the port.
The point is understanding here why a new connection is created instead of reusing the one created for the INVITE.
Could please paste the logs, possibly at DEBUG level, when kamailio sends the ACK?

Cheers,

Federico

The INVITE has no port assigned in ruri, so I assume it is using the default port of 5060; the ACK does have 5060 in the ruri.  Even if a new connection is created shouldn’t it be using the listen tcp port since I have tcp_reuse_port=yes?

 

Thank you!

Can you print the logs when it tries to send the ACK?

Check also that the ACK ruri contains the same destination port which was used for the INVITE, otherwise a new connection will be created.

 

Best regards,

Thank you Alex and Federico,

 

I verified, and SO_REUSEPORT is defined on my OS.  I am using Kamailio 5.2 and I set ‘tcp_reuse_port=yes;’ and $fs;  this has been to no avail as ‘ACK’s’ are still using the high port number randomly assigned by Kamailio.

 

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge!

You are right Alex, Linux kernel didn't support SO_REUSEPORT, which allows a socket to be used as source for a tcp connection while is already bound, until version 3.9.

Kamailio's parameter tcp_reuse_port, if enabled and your OS has support for SO_REUSEPORT (so not only Linux but FreeBSD, OSX and others), allows you to use force_send_socket (or $fs) to send messages from a TCP port kamailio is listening to.

 

Cheers,

When an outgoing TCP connection is opened, either a port can be
explicitly bound, or it is auto-assigned by the OS's networking stack. I
believe Kamailio does the latter and does not offer options to constrain
the range. If it does, I'm not aware of any apart from this one:

Not sure if it would help in this case, you'd have to give it a try.
