Issue with async_cdp_callback() of MAR diameter message
by Minello, Loredana 18 Mar '25

18 Mar '25

Hello, I have an issue during the registration phase with the Diameter MAR procedure. The issue is as follows: 1. I perform a registration. 2. The MAR is correctly sent using the function: ims_www_challenge("REG_MAR_REPLY", "$var(auth_realm)"); 3. Upon receiving the MAA, after executing async_cdp_callback(), the execution does not return to the Kamailio reply route indicated (REG_MAR_REPLY). I tried replacing t_continue with t_continue_skip_timer in the async_cdp_callback() function of the MAR (see below), and everything works correctly. //tmb.t_continue(data->tindex, data->tlabel, data->act); tmb.t_continue_skip_timer(data->tindex, data->tlabel, data->act); free_saved_transaction_data(data); return; Note: When I send the SAR, I do not have this issue, but I noticed that in the corresponding async_cdp_callback(), the t_continue_skip_timer function is used. Do you think the modification I made to async_cdp_callback() for the MAR is correct? Why does t_continue not work? Thanks.

dispatcher not distributing well?
by David Villasmil 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Hello guys, i have a kamilio with a dispatcher list in db like +------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+----------------------------+ | id | setid | destination | flags | priority | attrs | description | register_datetime | +------+-------+---------------------+-------+----------+------------------------------+---------------+---------------------+ | 3239 | 430 | sip:gateway-08:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-08;weight=50 | gateway-08 | 2023-03-21 00:19:44 | | 3246 | 430 | sip:gateway-11:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-11;weight=50 | gateway-11 | 2023-05-15 23:00:28 | | 3247 | 430 | sip:gateway-12:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-12;weight=50 | gateway-12 | 2023-05-15 23:06:57 | | 3249 | 430 | sip:gateway-14:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-14;weight=50 | gateway-14 | 2023-05-15 23:24:44 | | 3276 | 430 | sip:gateway-15:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-15;weight=50 | gateway-15 | 2024-05-01 19:43:19 | | 3277 | 430 | sip:gateway-16:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-16;weight=50 | gateway-16 | 2024-05-01 19:51:16 | | 3278 | 430 | sip:gateway-1:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-17;weight=50 | gateway-17 | 2024-05-01 19:58:13 | | 3279 | 430 | sip:gateway-17:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-18;weight=50 | gateway-18 | 2024-05-01 20:06:44 | | 3280 | 430 | sip:gateway-3:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-19;weight=50 | gateway-19 | 2024-05-01 20:14:50 | | 3281 | 430 | sip:gateway-2:5080 | 0 | 10 | duid=gateway-20;weight=50 | gateway-20 | 2024-05-01 20:23:25 | +------+-------+---------------------+-------+----------+------------------------------+---------------+---------------------+ and i'm dispatching with if(!ds_select_dst("$var(dispatcher_id)", "10")) { xlog("[DISPATCH]: ds_select_dst FAILED!'\n"); send_reply("404", "No destination"); exit; } still kamailio isn't distributing at all but for some reason is favoring high-description gateways: kamctl rpc dlg.list 5 gateway-20:5080;transport=udp" 2 gateway-19:5080;transport=udp" it's forwarding calls mostly to gateway-20, gateway-19, gateway-18, gateway-17... in descending order... Why is kamailio doing that? i'd expected it to distribute to all based on the call load on each gateway. Thanks all! Regards, David Villasmil email: david.villasmil.work(a)gmail.com

add_contact_alias modifies only one Contact address
by James Browne 13 Mar '25

13 Mar '25

- https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.8.x/modules/nathelper.html#nathelper.f.… This add_contact_alias() function changes only the first Contact address in a REGISTER request, even though it's normal (RFC3261, 10.2) for a REGISTER to have multiple Contact addresses. This seems to me to be a kamailio bug. For example, a user might remove one binding while adding a second, in a REGISTER request. If kamailio relays this while adding an alias to only the expires=0 binding, then the new binding may be stored incorrectly in the registrar. James

Server selecting TCP transport
by Jon Bonilla (Manwe) 13 Mar '25

13 Mar '25

Hi all Using 5.8.4 I have a trunk with a permanent registration created by rpc in the location table. It looks like this: kamcmd> ul.lookup location sbc.mydomain.com { AoR: sbc.mydomain.com Contacts: { Contact: { Address: sip:xxx@sbc.mydomain.com Expires: -102739 Q: 1 Call-ID: dfjrewr12386fd6-343(a)kamailio.rpc CSeq: 1 User-Agent: kamailio SIP Router - RPC Server Received: [not set] Path: <sip:192.168.255.202:5060;lr> State: CS_SYNC Flags: 0 CFlags: 0 Socket: [not set] Methods: 0 Ruid: ulcx-67c9e2ff-19f8-1 Instance: [not set] Reg-Id: 0 Server-Id: 0 Tcpconn-Id: -1 Keepalive: 0 Last-Keepalive: 1741899218 KA-Roundtrip: 0 Last-Modified: 0 } } } In this situation the proxy sends the request to 192.168.255.202 which is a kamailio load balancer which is responsible for sending the call to the customer. The problem is that kamailio, when relaying this request, first performs TCP srv lookup and tries to send the request via TCP. There's no transport=tcp in the address. The lb's dns settings are: dns_try_ipv6=no dns_retr_time=1 dns_retr_no=1 dns_use_search_list=no use_dns_cache=on use_dns_failover=on dns_srv_lb=on dns_try_naptr=no dns_sctp_pref=1 dns_tcp_pref=1 dns_tls_pref=1 dns_udp_pref=1 Seems like this kamailio tries TCP SRV first, and then TLS and then UDP if the previous doesn't bring results. But no NAPTR is enabled. I don't know why it will choose TCP over UDP in this case. -- PekePBX, the multitenant PBX solution https://pekepbx.com

SDP Truncation When Relaying from WebSocket to UDP – Expected Behavior?
by Pavan Kumar 13 Mar '25

13 Mar '25

Hello Kamailio Community, I recently encountered an interesting behavior when using Kamailio to relay SIP messages from a WebSocket client to FreeSWITCH over UDP. *Observed Behavior:* - The WebSocket client sends an *INVITE* with a large SDP. - Kamailio forwards this request over UDP to FreeSWITCH. - Upon inspection, the *SDP in the relayed message appears truncated*. (Probably MTU limit) - *Surprisingly, the call still establishes successfully*, and there are no noticeable issues with audio or call setup. *My Questions:* 1. *Is this expected behavior?* Should Kamailio automatically truncate SDP when relaying from WebSocket to UDP? 2. *Could this be working accidentally?* For example, is FreeSWITCH handling the partial SDP gracefully by default? 3. *Should I be concerned about potential failures in different scenarios?* (e.g., ICE candidate loss, missing codec negotiation) I would appreciate any insights from the community on whether this is a known or expected behavior in Kamailio, or if it might be a configuration issue. Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards, Pavan Kumar

Need help using Kamailio IMS and Open5GS for 5G core
by Pete Kay 13 Mar '25

13 Mar '25

Hi I am able to compile Kamailio IMS and Open5GS. The instruction in https://open5gs.org/open5gs/docs/tutorial/02-VoLTE-setup/ is for 4G using Diameter. For 5G, we need to use HTTP protocol. Does anyone know if there is any guide on how to configure Kamailio IMS and Open5GS on 5G core using HTTP protocol for PCRF ? Thanks for millions for all your help. Pete

Re: upgrading process

Thanks Ben Really appreciate your response Tony From: Ben Kaufman via sr-users <sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org> Reply to: "Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List" <sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org> Date: Wednesday, 12 March 2025 at 16:20 To: "sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org" <sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org> Cc: Ben Kaufman <bkaufman(a)bcmone.com> Subject: [SR-Users] Re: upgrading process Luckily there usually aren't a lot of breaking changes in Kamailio updates, and config files are mostly back compatible. That doesn't mean that there are never changes, but it does mean that the number of issues to resolve is usually small. * wanted to know if I can run make install on every iteration i.e. 5.6.1, the 5.6.2 etc There shouldn't really be any changes needed to config for the patch/fix versions like that (third decimal place) so those should be fine (and is good practice if you're not able to quickly update to a supported version for any reason), but it shouldn't be necessary to touch every incremental version to upgrade Kamailio. Every major release has an upgrade guide from the pervious version, so in your case: * 5.6 to 5.7: https://www.kamailio.org/wikidocs/install/upgrade/5.6.x-to-5.7.0/ * 5.7 to 5.8: https://www.kamailio.org/wikidocs/install/upgrade/5.7.x-to-5.8.0/ * 5.8 to 6.0: https://www.kamailio.org/wikidocs/install/upgrade/5.8.x-to-6.0.0/ It still shouldn't be necessary to touch each individual version while upgrading. I'd recommend reading through these docs in order taking note of the following: * Look for potentially breaking changes in the core. I don't see any in those documents, but a good example would be if upgrading from 4.x to 5.x how fifo was deprecated. * Look for modules changes. Mostly you'll see things like new features which shouldn't be breaking. A few modules were deprecated/archived in 5.8 ( app_sqlang, and auth_identity). Sometimes modules have small breaking changes in them as well, for example in 6.0 the dialog module dropped support for the dlg_flag parameter. Check your kamailio configs to see if any of these listed changes will impact you. * Follow any DB upgrade changes. These are usually simple changes - things like adding an index to a column, or changing a varchar(n) datatype to be varchar(n+y) which won't break your existing config. Another reply correctly points out that you should watch for changes to the version table. This is possibly a situation where a conflict could arise: The version required for one table might be 1 in 5.6 and 2 in 6.0. It might be worth while to copy the existing version table to a new table (like version_60 for example), and use kamailio's version_table parameter to use the new version table on the updated config. (note: The upgrade guides don't show any table version changes, so you probably don't need to do this). Finally, as a recommendation, smoke test your config in docker. You might not have the container setup in a way to actually receive SIP messages, but "does the config file load correctly" is a nice thing to have resolved ahead of time. * Regards, Kaufman ________________________________ From: Anthony Ford via sr-users <sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2025 9:30 AM To: sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org <sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org> Cc: Anthony Ford <tony.ford(a)apalo.co.uk> Subject: [SR-Users] upgrading process CAUTION: This email originated from outside the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi I need some help please. I am very inexperienced with Kamailio, and am trying to work out how to upgrade without rewriting any of the current config. I am going from 5.6.0 to 6.0.0 and wanted to know if I can run make install on every iteration i.e. 5.6.1, the 5.6.2 etc. until I need to make a bigger step, and may have to change tables etc. In the document for upgrading 5.6.x to 5.7.x it says make change to Watch table, but I have no watch table. Very confused. Thanks Tony

CANCEL suspension and forking
by Alex Balashov 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Hi, When a CANCEL is received and matches a known INVITE transaction, it is forked to all existing branches of that INVITE transaction, at least with these settings: modparam("tm", "cancel_b_method", 2) modparam("tm", "failure_reply_mode", 3) I have a mobile endpoint that is slow to be pushed awake and reregister, tsilo-style, and by the time it finally appears on the scene, the underlying INVITE transaction has been terminated. Accordingly, that endpoint receives no CANCEL. You might ask why that's a problem, if it also didn't receive a forked INVITE. The problem is that Apple's CallKit requires interactive presentation of VoIP APNS notifications as though they are "calls", leading to the phenomenon of what might be called "ghost calls" extrinsically to the actual mobile application. Anyway, I am aware of numerous possible solutions to this problem in principle; most involve sending an out-of-band SIP message to signify an alternative cancellation of the call. However, wonder if I am missing some best-practical approach, perhaps through an overlooked TM facility, or some way of keeping the transaction alive longer than the CANCEL from the UAC would ordinarily require? I don't see how that would work, but thought better to ask. Thanks! -- Alex -- Alex Balashov Principal Consultant Evariste Systems LLC Web: https://evaristesys.com Tel: +1-706-510-6800
