Very hard to say without a complete ngrep trace. If both parties are on public IPs, there is probably something with the signalling, not the SDP payload. The 183 Session Progress is a so-called provisional reponse. It can be used for early media (to set up the rtp stream before connection). A double 183 sounds strange if it's the proxy that does it. g-)

Hi,

I've recently encountered some problem with my SIP service whereby i call out to a specific number and i encounter a one way voice. If i'm the initiator, i cannot hear the other party but he can hear me. At first i thought it was a return route issue (as i'm going thru NAT) , so i switch my SIP to a public IP but i still face the same problem. Its really only that specific PSTN number that i have dialed facing this problem. The only difference that i can think of is that PSTN number is on a different route. I did a NGREP from my SIP server for the PSTN number that works (2-way voice) and the Number that doesn't work (1-way voice) . The only difference is there is an extra :

NGW --> Proxy SIP/2.0 183 Session Progress..Via: SIP/2.0/UDP Proxy --> SIP Device SIP/2.0 183 Session Progress..Via: SIP/2.0/UDP

for the PSTN number that works (the one with 2-way voice).

Anyone has idea what does the Session Progress is for ? Or what problem am i facing ?

Thanks a mILLION !

Regards, Sam
