Hi guys does someone have experience about the interaction of asterisk and SER. I have a strange behavior. I terminate a call from an Asterisk to SER and then to a interconnection partner which runs also on asterisk. Whenever I make a call after a long (3-5 mins) idle time I got a one way audio call because the interconnection partner sends it back to SER instead of asterisk. But the call after works like a charm. And this happens all the time. This is my SER config # ----------- global configuration parameters ------------------------ #debug=4 debug=2 fork=yes log_stderror=yes # (cmd line: -E) check_via=no # (cmd. line: -v) dns=no # (cmd. line: -r) rev_dns=no # (cmd. line: -R) listen=82.98.89.140:5060 port=5060 children=4 fifo="/tmp/ser_fifo" # ------------------ module loading ---------------------------------- loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/sl.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/exec.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/tm.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/rr.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/maxfwd.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/usrloc.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/registrar.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/textops.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/avpops.so" #loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/group.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/xlog.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/auth.so" #loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/nathelper.so" loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/uri.so" #loadmodule "/usr/local/ser/current/lib/ser/modules/uri_db.so" # ----------------- setting module-specific parameters --------------- modparam("usrloc", "db_mode", 0) # -- rr params -- # add value to ;lr param to make some broken UAs happy modparam("rr", "enable_full_lr", 1) # ------------------------- request routing logic ------------------- # main routing logic route{ # initial sanity checks -- messages with # max_forwards==0, or excessively long requests if (!mf_process_maxfwd_header("10")) { sl_send_reply("483","Too Many Hops"); break; }; if (msg:len >= 2048 ) { sl_send_reply("513", "Message too big"); break; }; # we record-route all messages -- to make sure that # subsequent messages will go through our proxy; that's # particularly good if upstream and downstream entities # use different transport protocol if (!method=="REGISTER") record_route(); # subsequent messages withing a dialog should take the # path determined by record-routing if (loose_route()) { # mark routing logic in request append_hf("P-hint: rr-enforced\r\n"); route(1); break; }; if (!uri==myself) { # mark routing logic in request append_hf("P-hint: outbound\r\n"); route(1); break; }; # if the request is for other domain use UsrLoc # (in case, it does not work, use the following command # with proper names and addresses in it) if (uri==myself) { if (method=="ACK") { route(1); break; } if (method=="REGISTER") { save("location"); break; }; # only forward if from our nat ip if (method=="INVITE" && (src_ip==82.98.89.146 || src_ip==82.98.89.147 || src_ip==82.98.89.129)) { #record_route(); if (uri =~ "sip:[0-9]*@*") { #record_route(); route(3); break; } } else { sl_send_reply("401", "Unauthorized"); }; if (method=="CANCEL") { route(1); break; }; if (method=="BYE") { route(1); break; } lookup("aliases"); if (!uri==myself) { append_hf("P-hint: outbound alias\r\n"); route(1); break; }; # native SIP destinations are handled using our USRLOC DB if (!lookup("location")) { sl_send_reply("404", "Not Found"); break; }; }; append_hf("P-hint: usrloc applied\r\n"); route(1); } route[1] { # send it out now; use stateful forwarding as it works reliably # even for UDP2TCP if (!t_relay()) { sl_reply_error(); }; } route[3] { # strip the first 4 characters 1991 #strip(4); #rewritehost("62.134.16.104"); rewritehostport("62.134.16.104:5060"); #t_relay_to_udp("62.134.16.104", "5060"); xlog("L_WARN", "[%Tf]: Call forwarded to BT from: [%fu] to: [%tu] next: [%ds]\r\n"); route(1); break; } The asterisk dialplan looks like this ; route everything to SER exten => _X.,1,Noop(${SIP_HEADER(FROM)}) exten => _X.,n,Set(SIP_CODEC="gsm") exten => _X.,n,Dial(sip/${EXTEN}(a)82.98.89.140) exten => _X.,n,Hangup() The asterisk server has the public IP 82.98.89.146 and SER 82.98.89.140.
