Internally generated requests are a little quirky in that they’re generated by outside timer processes or tasks in core timers — activity that takes place outside the SIP worker pool. However, the expectation is that any replies will be processed (in this case, absorbed) by the SIP workers. 

Asymmetric signalling is permitted in SIP, so sending from source port X while specifying a return port of Y in the top Via hop is perfectly acceptable.

Hey all,

I’m a little stuck on an implementation of a set of dispatchers via TCP.  There are some oddities about the behavior of the TCP source port of the Kamailio tcp worker/s, and maybe this is expected, but it doesn’t seem valid.  For instance, I have a dispatcher:

"RECORDS": [{
"SET": {
"ID": 1,
"TARGETS": [{
"DEST": {
"URI": sip:2.2.2.2:5060;transport=tcp",
"FLAGS": "AP",
"PRIORITY": 5
}
}]
}
}]

But when Kamailio sends an OPTIONS keep alive, the source port for the worker is 33940, and not 5060 (which is the TCP listen port), as received by Freeswitch:

recv 447 bytes from tcp/[1.1.1.1]:33940 at 18:58:24.958720:

Also, I get weird debug messages when this tcp worker is spun up (specifically about Resource temporarily unavailable):

Are these SIP messages expected to come from other ports than the listen port (5060 in this case)? Also, if the worker source port is not 5060, shouldn’t the SIP message get updated with the correct port?

In the case of OPTIONS, Freeswitch is replying correctly to the source port: 33940.

However, in the case of an in dialog BYE, Freeswitch is NOT replying to the source port of the Kamailio messages, but only to port 5060.  Here is an example (relayed from web sockets to freeswitch over TCP) INVITE (as received from Freeswitch):

This doesn’t seem valid, as the top Via doesn’t have a port specified?

For reference, just rebuilt form the 5.4 branch today:
