Understanding NAT Flags
by Benoit Panizzon 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Hi Gang Somehow I don't get my head around NAT Flags and the nathelper module https://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.7.x/modules/nathelper.html In the examples I found, there is: FLT_NATS and FLB_NATB If I got it right, FLB_NATB is a branch flag, which shall indicate that the device is 'B'ehind NAT, right? It is being set, when FLT_NATS is set: if(isflagset(FLT_NATS)) { setbflag(FLB_NATB); } But when should FLT_NATS be set and what is it's meaning? The examples I found don't tell me this.

Outbound Proxy/Forwarder
by Blake Ivey 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Hi everyone, New user who is trying to make an outbound proxy to route a lot of freepbx boxes for outbound calls. I got this setup and working using dsiprouter. Calls come in from freepbx trunk using outbound proxy, authenticated using IP auth, and then gets signed with our stirshaken cert, then routes out to our carriers. Interested in using plain kamailio. Got everything compiled and libstirshaken compiled. Just wanted to see if someone could point me in the right direction for the cfg file. I assume I would match how I have it in dsiprouter. That config has a lot of things I'm not using and having a hard time deciphering it. My thoughts on what I need: MySQL database. Have a table for ip auth, a table for voice carriers, and a table for 911 carriers. Invite comes in, it checks ip auth table and responds with 403 if it's not on the list. If it is, proceed to stir shaken signing, and then route the call? I assume I will need to have some logic to tell voice calls and emergency calls. I got plain old routing/forwarding working and now want to focus on locking it down. Any thoughts, examples configs, anything would be awesome. I am hoping to get this working and then having a primary/standby or even load balancing them but im in the very early stages of trying to get my head around Kamailio. Thanks for any insights!

How to identify the instances of a looping call (including all replies and on all transactions)
by Benoit Panizzon 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Hi List I have stumbled over this challenge: I have a kamailio server without dialog module. Only tmx module, acting as registrar / rtpengine host. If the call is routed over that server once, this works fine. If the call is routed more than once (call from one location to another on same registrar, call forwarding) then to correctly work, I would need to engage rtpengine in a way to tell rtpengine to handle both call legs separately. By default, rtpengine identifies one call by Call-ID,FromTag,ToTag so it considers all invocations to target one instance and on the 2nd invocations it replaces the source rtp ip by it's own ip killing audio. Using 'loop-protect' to prevent the 2nd invocation 'sort-of' works, but not cleanly if I use different 'private' ip ranges on my voice core and IC network to which CPE should not talk. It is possible to pass a custom Call-ID to rtpengine. So this is how I am considering finding a solution. When passing the call-id to rtpengine I could append a leg identifier to that call-id. like $avp(rtp-callid) = $ci + $var(leg-id) How could I reliably generate this leg-id / tell the legs apart? Consider this situation: leg 1 leg 2 CPE-A => Kam-Reg => Routing Core => Kam-Reg => CPE-B Also I wonder if I can use an AVP at all? From Kamailio's Point of view, the first invite being routed twice could be the same transaction with same shared AVP, right? Is there a way to pass some information via flags appended route-header? Or maybe use the count of via or route header to tell the legs apart? Any ideas very appreciated.

Using SQLite in wal mode with synchronous=normal
by Tim Anderson 28 Apr '24

28 Apr '24

Hi, I see the documentation for the sqlite module includes a parameter to set the journal_mode to wal, but I don't see any way to set synchronous=normal. Is there a way to run arbitrary PRAGMA statements upon opening the file or would I have to run it before each query?

SDP getting modified.
by Pavan Kumar 28 Apr '24

28 Apr '24

Hi everyone, Here is my setup SIP Client (MacBook) <=> Kamailio (AWS) <=> Freeswitch (AWS) When I initiate a call from Client, audio won't be sent out, but the client can receive audio. (When the client receives the call everything works fine). I started to trace the SIP message using tdpdump. And here is an interesting thing. Kamailio sends the following SDP message while sending 200 OK v=0 o=FreeSWITCH 1714278184 1714278185 IN IP4 *<freeswitch-ip-address>* s=FreeSWITCH c=IN IP4 *<freeswitch-ip-address>* t=0 0 m=audio 27644 RTP/AVP 120 101 a=rtpmap:120 opus/48000/2 a=fmtp:120 useinbandfec=1 a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000 a=fmtp:101 0-15 a=ptime:20 But on my computer where SIP client is running I receive following message v=0 o=FreeSWITCH 1714278184 1714278185 IN IP4 *<kamailio-ip-address>* s=FreeSWITCH c=IN IP4 *<kamailio-ip-address>* t=0 0 m=audio 27644 RTP/AVP 120 101 a=rtpmap:120 opus/48000/2 a=fmtp:120 useinbandfec=1 a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000 a=fmtp:101 0-15 a=ptime:20 Somehow, somewhere, somebody is modifying the IP address in the SDP message, hence the SIP client is sending audio to "Kamailio" instead of "Freeswitch" server. My initial guess was my router might be modifying it. After checking the router settings I found SIP ALG is enabled. I disabled it, yet no use. I changed my internet connection to a different provider and things started working. SDP is not getting modified. Have you ever faced such an issue where someone/something is modifying the SDP messages. How did you debug to figure out which component was modifying it? And common fixes for such weird situations? Thanks and Regards, Pavan Kumar

by ramaseshi.kolli＠gmail.com 28 Apr '24

28 Apr '24

Hi All, If run Kamailio in Active/Passive mode lets say there are 100 transactions going on Active node and then Active went down, now i want passive to be aware of all those ongoing transactions so that it can handle ongoing calls transactions smoothly so how to store them in db? Is there any way to do so? i know there is module dialog for tracking calls etc but i just want to handle transactions. Thanks in advance. Ram

Wrong code in the websocket examples cfg
by Pavan Kumar 27 Apr '24

27 Apr '24

Hello everyone, While going through the WebRTC example configuration (cfg) to better understand and implement it in my setup, I came across a potential issue in the code block. The code in question can be found at this link: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/465994de2859c7863b4cef8457be0a207… In the code, there is an "if else" block, "if(loose_route())" that seems to be incorrect. It appears that the "if" block will always evaluate to true, given that "loose_route" never returns 0. According to the documentation, the return values of "loose_route" are specified as 1, 2, -1, -2, -3. Therefore, it seems the "if" block is unnecessary, and the "else" block will never be executed. Could someone please confirm this observation and, if accurate, suggest a correction for the code? Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards, Pavan Kumar

Kamailio, Asterisk and Parked calls
by Social Boh 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

Hello list, I'm using Kamailio to balance SIP request between two Asterisk. I have a problem with Parking calls using Asterisk Application. When a user parking a call, some times can't pick up parked call because the call to pick up the Call go to the other Asterisk. I'm using the 1 algorithm "hash over from URI" without success. Any hint? -- --- I'm SoCIaL, MayBe

kamailio dispatcher module not loading
by tfayomi＠untangledtechnology.com 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

Hello, I'm trying to set up the dispatcher module from kamailio, but I'm running into errors just loading the dispatcher module and setting the params in my config file and would like to know where I'm going wrong. I've added destinations through kamctl as well and whenever I try to use dispatcher reload or dispatcher dump, I get a 500 error saying neither of those methods are found. I'm using kamailio version 5.6.3 and these are the errors I'm getting when starting up kamailio: /usr/sbin/kamailio[102176]: ERROR: dispatcher [dispatch.c:824]: ds_load_list(): can't open list file [/etc/kamailio/dispatcher.list] /usr/sbin/kamailio[102176]: ERROR: dispatcher [dispatcher.c:434]: mod_init(): no dispatching list loaded from file /usr/sbin/kamailio[102176]: ERROR: <core> [core/sr_module.c:974]: init_mod(): Error while initializing module dispatcher (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kamailio/modules/dispatcher.so) Many thanks in advance, Temi

optimization in process
by Alexis Fidalgo 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

Hello all, little and fast context, we have 8 docker swarm clusters (4 nodes each) where there are deployed as global service 4 kamailio per cluster. Each cluster runs 8 replicas of a call processing service/app (for the sake of this question we’ll assume the performance of this app is ok, no problems on what it does and how much it consumes in cpu/memory). kamailio is configured to use http_client module to query the processing app (those queries are load balanced by the docker swarm cluster) in a very simple way, added below in this email. Everything goes well, there’s an average of ~450 caps on each kamailio on peak hours. Question and reason of this email is: Is this the best approach i can take? (the http_client) or maybe there’s a more efficient one for this scenario? maybe kemi, or other? The processing app is written in golang. We’re planning to add more traffic (significantly more) to this instances and i would like to know if there’s a better scenario, to explore it before this migration. Thanks, regards — request_route { route(AF_SL); } route[AF_SL] { if(is_method("ACK")){ exit; } if(is_method("REGISTER")){ sl_reply("200", "OK"); exit; } if(is_method("OPTIONS")){ sl_reply("200", "OK"); exit; } if(is_method("CANCEL")){ sl_reply("200","OK"); sl_reply("487","Request Terminated"); exit; } if(is_method("INVITE")){ if ($hdr(X-Carrier-In)!="" && $hdr(Organization)!="" && $hdr(X-SBC-Type)!="") { sl_reply("100","Trying"); $var(retCode) = http_client_query("http://cbrcre:3001/cbrcre/v1/callHandler",'xsbct=$(hdr(X-SBC-Type){s.escape.param})&org=$(hdr(Organization){s.escape.param})&xci=$(hdr(X-Carrier-In){s.escape.param})&fu=$(fu{s.escape.param})&ru=$(ru{s.escape.param})&rU=$(rU{s.escape.param})&fU=$(fU{s.escape.param})&ci=$(ci{s.escape.param})&cin=$(hdr(Call-Info){s.escape.param})&ih=$hdr(Identity)&tag=$(ft{s.escape.param})&ct=$(ct{s.escape.param})&via=$(hdr(Via)[0]{s.escape.param})', "$var(result)"); xlog("L_INFO", "*************** RESULT: $var(result)\n\n"); jansson_get("response_code", "$var(result)", "$var(rc)"); switch($var(rc)){ case "200": if jansson_get("contact", "$var(result)", "$var(ct)") == true { append_branch("$var(ct)"); } if jansson_get("callinfo", "$var(result)", "$var(cinfo)") == true { append_to_reply("Call-Info: $var(cinfo)\r\n"); } if jansson_get("pai", "$var(result)", "$var(pai)") ==true { append_to_reply("P-Asserted-Identity: $var(pai)\r\n"); } if jansson_get("xfrom", "$var(result)", "$var(xfrom)") ==true { append_to_reply("X-From: $var(xfrom)\r\n"); } if jansson_get("identity", "$var(result)", "$var(identity)") ==true { append_to_reply("Identity: $var(identity)\r\n"); } append_to_reply("X-Handled: ServiceBroker\r\n"); sl_send_reply("302", "Redirect"); break; default: jansson_get("reason","$var(result)","$var(reason)"); jansson_get("sbReason","$var(result)","$var(sbreason)"); append_to_reply("X-SBReason: $var(sbreason)\r\n"); sl_send_reply("$var(rc)", "$var(reason)"); } exit; } xlog("L_ERR","missing xci or org or sbct"); sl_send_reply("608", "SBK Rejected"); } }
