Freezing development for v3.2.0 today
by Daniel-Constantin Mierla 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hello, just a short reminder that we will close the development of new features for version 3.2.0 at the end of today, GMT. Then the focus should be on testing (e.g., bug fixing) and enhancements to documentation. If you have something to commit, do it today, or if it is impossible for you to make it in the GIT repo today, let us know and we will see what can be done. But don't forget, 3.3.0 will come as well in the no-so-far future. Cheers, Daniel -- Daniel-Constantin Mierla -- http://www.asipto.com Kamailio Advanced Training, Oct 10-13, Berlin: http://asipto.com/u/kat http://linkedin.com/in/miconda -- http://twitter.com/miconda

masking carriers
by Anders 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hi, Background: Kamailio 1.5.x + rtpproxy I am not too crazy about telling our customers where we send our calls. But if they take a look at the sip dialog as it is right now, they can see our suppliers/carriers IP addresses. What can we do to mask this, so that the last piece of information stops at our IPs? We are running rtpproxy for the media - if that makes any difference. Someone told me I cannot mask anything without moving to Kamailio 3.x - is that the case? Thanks!! //Anders

Question about encryption with Kamailio
by margot.basa 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hello all, I would like to use Kamailio to encrypt contents of SIP messages (using SIP TLS) between 2 endpoints, i.e.: - To use 5061 port instead of 5060 port, - To use sips uri instead of sip uri... For example, T1 and T2 communicates with "Server A" like that: 1) T1 and T2 send REGISTER to "Server A" 2) T1 and T2 received 200 OK from "Server A" ... 3) "Server A" sends an INVITE message to T1 and T2 ... 4) RTP flow between T1 and T2 (this should not be encrypted) ... 5) "Server A" sends a BYE request to T1 and T2 ... All those exchanges are made on Transport layer TCP or UDP on port 5060. T1 and T2 are not able to support TLS but "Server A" needs to receive/send messages in SIP TLS. I would like to insert Kamailio between T1 and "Server A", T2 and "Server B" in order to encrypt contents of SIP messages. I have some questions about that: - I think Kamailio can do that but I am not sure, can you confirm that to me please? - Can I use Kamailio as it is to do that? - Do I have to add a "Route" header in requests in order that requests between T1 and "Server A" go through Kamailio or - Does Kamailio is able to intercept SIP packets automatically (with a certain configuration)? - Do you know difference between Freeswitch and Kamailio? (because I have seen that Freeswitch can do what I need: see Figure4: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/SIP_TLS) Thank you very much for your input.

new functionality: CDR-based accounting
by Timo Reimann 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hi all, as announced quite a while ago, I finally checked in code that allows to produce CDRs (Call Data Records) directly from SIP-Router and generate logs accordingly. The main code portion resides in modules_k/acc and provides a switch to enable basic CDR generation including start time, end time, and duration. Analogous to the existing logging approach, you may define an extra parameter covering to-be-included dialog pseudo-variables that must be assigned in the configuration script. The new code will take care of transforming the basic and custom CDR fields into CDR logs at the end of a dialog. Speaking of dialogs: The implementation relies heavily on the dialog module. It takes advantage of dialog variables introduces by Carsten Bock and adds a few more features. Most notably, we had to change the dialog callback signature to provide both request and response messages. Having only one of them proved to be insufficient in certain cases; for instance, a locally generated 408 returned a FAKED_REPLY, thus rendering it impossible to access dialog variables through the PV framework. Other modules using dialog callbacks have been updated along the commit, third-party modules outside the repository will need to do so too (and think about whether using the request or response is the Right Thing to do). Due to the changes brought to the dialog module, I pushed the new acc and dialog code into a separate branch called treimann/acc-cdr. Feel free to give it a try by consulting the updated documentation and suggesting (or, if it's good enough, implementing :) ) improvements. A Kamailio 1.5 backport of the code has been in usage for quite some time with us, so generally there shouldn't be any major logical flaws. SIP-Router certainly needs more testing, however, so I'd be glad for any feedback. My plan is to merge the code into master branch prior to the 3.2 feature freeze, unless significant objections arise. Finally, big-time credits go to my co-worker Sven Knoblich who is the main contributor of the code. He's been working on this stuff for the past few months and dreams in CDRs by now. Cheers, --Timo

LCR Modules Comparison
by Spencer Thomason 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hello all, Can anyone shed some light into the differences between the available LCR modules? We have migrated our config from OpenSIPS where we used the drouting module to Kamailio where we are using the lcr module. Our ruleset is not crazy huge, about 100k entries. Are there compelling reasons to choose one module over the other? Is there one that has the most active development behind it and is a "standard" for the platform or is there one that will be deprecated in the foreseeable future? Thanks, Spencer

Re: [SR-Users] decode_mime_type error
by Bucur Marius 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hi Jijo, In my opinion, decode_mime_type is broken, and parse_accept_body does not work as expected. For example, this is a valid accept header: accept: text/plain;param=",some value". but the parse_accept_body will return -1 because the first return value of decode_mime_type is ",some value\"". The second invocation will think "some value\"" is a mime type, which obviously isn't. I must say I never saw such an accept header, but the standard permits it. Indeed, a quick fix would be to ignore the return code when comma is found. This must be done for other functions that call decode_mime_type like has_body(mime) in textops. This is just my opinion, but I think this solution is a bit hackish since the convention, the "promise" that decode_mime_type should respect is to return a non-NULL, non-end pointer ONLY when there are more mime types in the body. And it doesn't. A lot of functions that call it rely on this. I think it is easier/more elegant to fix the bug in the decode_mime_type then to change the function convention in all callers. Also, this might work for most callers, but parse_accept_body will still be buggy, as I explained in the example above. Cheers, Marius ________________________________ From: Jijo <realjijo(a)gmail.com> To: Bucur Marius <bucur_marius_ovidiu(a)yahoo.com> Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 10:48 AM Subject: Re: [SR-Users] decode_mime_type error Hi Marius, Right, the same function is used for Accept and Content-Type. I don't think there is any change required for parsing Accept. In case of Accept the function decode_mime_type is called in a loop until it find all the media types. On the returning from decode_mime_type(), the main function parse_accept_xxx() checks the pointer is 'comma' or not. if its comma, then the function decode_mime_type called again and find the remaining media types. So i think the existing implementation for Parsing Accept is fine. The only change required here is not return error for comma while parsing the Content-Type.

decode_mime_type error
by Jijo 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi All, The function parse_content_type_hdr() is failing in decode_mime_type() when Content-Type parameter "boundary" has value comma as below. The error message is "ERROR:parse_content_type_hdr: CONTENT_TYPE hdr contains " "more then one mime type :-(! Content Type Header is as below, It works fine if the boundary value is without comma. Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary="*,*AW" The parse_content_type_hdr() is failing in the following code, ret = decode_mime_type(msg->content_type->body.s, end , &mime); if (ret==0) goto error; if (ret!=end) { LOG(L_INFO,"ERROR:parse_content_type_hdr: CONTENT_TYPE hdr contains " "more then one mime type :-(!\n"); goto error ; } I thought of fixing this issue by commenting the code for condition ret !=end. I'm not sure why we we need that check, as mime variable has the information to process the content. Please let me know if you see any impact. Thanks Jijo

Re: [SR-Users] mtree question

Hi Juha based on my experience with the mtree module: -mt_match() will match the longest prefix in the tree, in your case 00358 -mt_ignore_duplicates makes sense when loading the data in the DB to the memory. There could be duplicate entries in the db and with that directive you tell kamailio how to handle that situation -I don't know about mt_tree_type...(never needed to test it) Hope it helps Regards Javi > ------------------------------ > > Message: 2 > Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 10:10:29 +0300 > From: Juha Heinanen <jh(a)tutpro.com> > Subject: [SR-Users] mtree question > To: sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org > Message-ID: <20036.53733.20652.518606(a)sip.test.fi> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > after reading mtree readme, it is not clear to me if mt_match() matches > to longest or any matching prefix in the three. for example, if i have > tree with prefixes 00 and 00358 and string to be matched is > 0035892345670, will mt_match() set pv to value associated with 00 or > 00358? also, if mt_ignore_duplicates is set, will 00358 be considered > as duplicate of 00 or just prefixes that are exactly same. finally, > what are possible mt_tree_type values and what types they stand for? > > -- juha > > > > ------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ >
