Kamailio v6.0.1 and SUBSCRIBE processing
by Blair, Steve 26 Apr '25

26 Apr '25

I’m coming back to Kamailio after about a 10 year absence. I have v6.0.1 running handling registrations (unique devices) and inbound/outbound PSTN calling correctly. What I need is to process subscribe requests. I’m looking for direction on the correct configuration to 1. Authenticate subscribe messages. This appears to be working with following snippet. #eDevice: Need to authenticate subscribes before proceeding xlog("L_INFO", "eDevice: Start initial SUBSCRibe check. \n"); if (is_method("SUBSCRIBE")) { record_route(); if (!auth_check("$fd", "subscriber", "1")) { auth_challenge("$fd", "0"); } # eDevice SUB Change consume_credentials(); route(PRESENCE); } 1. After authenticating forward any subscribe to an external presence server 2. Relay any response from external presence server to client device. Only the above authentication is working so direction on proper processing of subscribes when Kamailio is not the presence server will be appreciated. Thanks

Re: RTPengine media starts for intiating caller only

Again, not super skilled yet with Kamailio/RTPEngine, but my first instinct is: "why you are advertising myproxyname.domain.net which is possibly a public IP". Your entire setup is in your LAN so you don't need to advertise any public IP.

RTPengine media starts for intiating caller only
by smh2017＠zoho.com 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

Hello, I have a problem with my basic Kamailio setup using RTPengine. I'm testing initially with two client UAs in the same LAN as the SIP server behind the firewall. The initiating UA starts the media proxy as soon as the receiving UA accepts the call, indicated by the call timer starting. But after accepting the call the receiving UA's timer doesn't start and after 10-15 secs hangs up with a NO ACK error message. I am using the kamailio default config file that comes with the Debian package and have made minimal changes recommended by various How-Tos for using Kamailio behind a firewall. Because the clients can successfully register over TLS, I'm assuming the problem is in the rtpengine configuration. The two rtp listen parameters I've tried are: interface = internal/192.168.1.100;external/192.168.1.100!myproxyname.domain.net --or-- interface = internal/192.168.1.100;external/myproxyname.domain.net listen-ng = localhost:2223 I'm not sure why some example rtpengine configs list both the private and public addresses as external. Any suggestions where to start troubleshooting? Thanks, Steve

404 sent from Kamailio NOT from the script
by Richard Robson 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

I have a problem where a call comes in and causing a 404 Not Found to be replied. the script does not have a 404 reply set in it anywhere unfortunately I cannot get the script to produce logs, hence my other post. But its making it tricky to find the source of the 404. following the script it should not be producing a 404, but doing a relay. I suspect there is something wrong with the tm or its not getting a result it needs. It looks like the transaction module is triggering thge 404 somehow and Its showing up in debug below. Does anyone have any ideas why i'm getting a 404? version 5.6.6 Regards, Richard Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:1100]: t_check_msg(): msg (0x7faf977b64b0) id=4/28700 global id=3/28700 T start=0xffffffffffffffff Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:503]: t_lookup_request(): start searching: hash=60776, isACK=0 Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:463]: matching_3261(): RFC3261 transaction matching failed - via branch [z9hG4bK-2e6a90ab-1bfb9be-d4ed8e5d-7f0300025430] Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:703]: t_lookup_request(): no transaction found Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:1172]: t_check_msg(): msg (0x7faf977b64b0) id=4/28700 global id=4/28700 T end=(nil) Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:1394]: t_newtran(): msg (0x7faf977b64b0) id=4/28700 global id=4/28700 T start=(nil) Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:503]: t_lookup_request(): start searching: hash=60776, isACK=0 Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:463]: matching_3261(): RFC3261 transaction matching failed - via branch [z9hG4bK-2e6a90ab-1bfb9be-d4ed8e5d-7f0300025430] Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:703]: t_lookup_request(): no transaction found Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} <core> [core/mem/q_malloc.c:385]: qm_malloc(): qm_malloc(0x7faf9301f000, 8336) called from tm: h_table.c: build_cell(336) Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_hooks.c:342]: run_reqin_callbacks_internal(): trans=0x7faf932f42c0, callback type 1, id 0 entered Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} <core> [core/mem/q_malloc.c:385]: qm_malloc(): qm_malloc(0x7faf9301f000, 40) called from tm: t_hooks.c: insert_tmcb(134) Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:1100]: t_check_msg(): msg (0x7faf977b64b0) id=4/28700 global id=4/28700 T start=0x7faf932f42c0 Apr 22 14:50:51 kamai01 kamailio[28700]: DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE afc0c04-9d8bc3d-1bfb9be-7f02f033b5f0-2406050a-13d8-7225} tm [t_lookup.c:1176]: t_check_msg(): T (0x7faf932f42c0) already found for msg (0x7faf977b64b0)!

Behaviour of suspended transactions
by Alex Balashov 18 Apr '25

18 Apr '25

Hello! Two questions about suspended transactions: 1) What is the lifetime of a suspended INVITE transaction? Can I change it? 2) While a transaction is suspended, its event hooks (e.g. onreply_route, failure_route) do not run, of course, even if replies that match the transaction are received. Is there a way to intercept these replies externally and resume the transaction upon the receipt of the reply, and prior to the processing of the reply? For example, can the replies be captured in a stateless route, and mapped Call-ID => index/label to t_continue() the transaction, then have the transaction state machine process that very same reply too? t_is_retr_async_reply() seems to hint at this intention, but its scope is more narrow, if I understood the documentation correctly: it seems to deal with retransmissions only. The code path I'm interested in is more akin to a t_is_reply_to_async() function. As you might guess, the driver for this inquiry is a mobile workflow where, in the vast majority of cases, one is contacting a stale registration and should just suspend the transaction, but where occasionally, in a small minority of cases, the endpoint does respond on the existing contact. The standard tsilo workflow of trickling parallel branches into a pending transaction doesn't work here because of the behaviour of Apple's CallKit; we have to try the existing contact _before_ we send a push notification. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov Principal Consultant Evariste Systems LLC Web: https://evaristesys.com Tel: +1-706-510-6800

XLOG not writing to local0

I have setup the kamailio.log file to receive the logs from kamailio and I am receiving some, but I do mot see any logs from xlog commands in the script.

*Dear Sir,* I have opened an issue on GitHub: *"IPv6 bind wrong IP. #4199 <https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/issues/4199>"*. *System Details:* - *Kamailio (5.8.x)* – SIP Proxy - *FreeSWITCH* – Media Server - *OS* – Debian 12 - *Gateway* – aaaa:bbb:cccc:20::1 - *IPv6 Address* – aaaa:bbb:cccc:20::41e ------------------------------ *kamailio.cfg:* #!define ADDR_IPV4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #!define ADDR_IPV6 [aaaa:bbb:cccc:20::41e] listen=ADDR_IPV4 listen=ADDR_IPV6 ------------------------------ *netstat Output:* tcp6 0 0 aaaa:bbb:cccc:20:::5060 :::* LISTEN 1691274/kamailio tcp6 0 0 aaaa:bbb:cccc:20:::5061 :::* LISTEN 1691274/kamailio udp6 0 0 aaaa:bbb:cccc:20:::5060 :::* 1691222/kamailio As shown, although I explicitly set the listen IP to aaaa:bbb:cccc:20::41e, Kamailio strips the last part of the address and binds to aaaa:bbb:cccc:20:: I also upgraded to *version 6.0* with default cfg and set auto_bind_ipv6=1 or changed ipv6 address, but the issue still persists. ------------------------------ *IPv6 Interface Configuration:* auto eth1 iface eth1 inet6 static address aaaa:bbb:cccc:20::41e netmask 64 gateway aaaa:bbb:cccc:20::1 I can successfully ping in and out using this IPv6 address. ------------------------------ Do I need to configure anything else in Kamailio or the system to ensure it binds to the full IPv6 address aaaa:bbb:cccc:20::41e as expected?

Handling NAT Keepalive in IMS PCSCF Configuration: Bypassing NATHelper Module
by f.soltanzade72＠gmail.com 16 Apr '25

16 Apr '25

Hi All, In the default Kamailio configuration, keepalive handling for NAT is typically managed through the NATHelper module. However, in the IMS PCSCF configuration, the NATPING route is used to send SIP OPTIONS messages for keepalive, which bypasses the NATHelper module. This approach makes it impossible to send raw UDP packets for keepalive handling. Can any one help me configuring that? Thank you.

How to place a delay between cancelling branch and retrying next one on timer expiry?
by Alex A 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hi All, I have an interesting use-case where I need to place a delay between cancelling branch and retrying next one. *Background: * Running Kamailio 5.6.x Kamailio routes requests via a freeswitch B2BUA server on select call flows (where B2BUA functionality is required). Call flow examples: PSTN --> Kamailio --> Freeswitch --> appserver1 PSTN --> Kamailio --> Freeswitch --> appserver2 On attempt failures, a branch retry is required from appserver1 to appserver2; however freeswitch B2BUA remains the same Since Freeswitch does not quite follow the RFC 3261 timer K specifications (should be 0 seconds for reliable transports, but FS keeps transactions for T4 (set to 2 seconds)); I have implemented an artificial delay in failure route before retrying (as per recommendation described here: https://freeswitch-users.freeswitch.narkive.com/TsSye66D/482-request-merged… ) *Script config: * onreply_route[MANAGE_REPLY] { xlog("L_INFO", "reply $T_reply_code received"); if (t_check_status( "1[1-9][0-9]")) { t_reset_fr(); } else { t_set_fr(120000); } } route(NATDETECT); #!ifdef WITH_RTPENGINE route(RTPMANAGE); #!endif } route[RELAY] { if (is_method("INVITE|BYE|SUBSCRIBE|UPDATE")) { if(!t_is_set("branch_route")) t_on_branch("MANAGE_BRANCH"); } if (is_method("INVITE|SUBSCRIBE|UPDATE")) { if(!t_is_set("onreply_route")) t_on_reply("MANAGE_REPLY"); } if(is_method("INVITE|BYE|UPDATE|CANCEL|ACK")) { setflag(FLT_DLGINFO); } if (!t_relay()) { sl_reply_error(); } exit; } route[TOCARRIER] { process bunch of things, attach custom headers, generate request URI t_on_failure("MANAGE_FAILURE_CARRIER"); route(RELAY); } failure_route[MANAGE_FAILURE_CARRIER] { xlog("L_INFO", "reply $T_reply_code received"); if ($avp(inbound_attempt)<=1){ if ($dlg_var(b2bua)=="true"){ usleep(1900000); } route("TOCARRIER"); } *Call Flows: * The above fix works well when an explicit error reply is received back. *error reply SIP exchange: * SBC --> INVITE(branch0) ---> Freeswitch SBC <-- 503 <-- Freeswitch failure_route executed (sleep runs here) SBC --> INVITE(branch1) ---> Freeswitch call continues as expected. however does not work when NO reply is received at all and the timer expires. *Current timer expiry SIP exchange: * SBC --> INVITE(branch0) ---> Freeswitch SBC <-- 100/180 <-- Freeswitch SBC (timer expires) failure_route executed (sleep runs here) SBC --> INVITE(branch1) ---> Freeswitch SBC <-- 482 Merged <-- Freeswitch SBC --> CANCEL(branch0) ---> Freeswitch I am looking to CANCEL branch0 before the sleep delay runs Based on source code, t_cancel_branches("this") can only be executed in reply_route; however the chellenge is that reply_route never sees the "faked 408" on timer expiry(although the failure route does see $T_reply_code 408). Any suggestions on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated. TIA
