Hello,

It looks like headers "From" in initial INVITE and received message are different.
For example:
 in INVITE : <sip:useragent7122@kamailio_address:5068>
 in received message
When you use header "From" transformation ( Route with vsf), restore may be correct only for exactly the same header "From" format.
For example 
Check may be port number is missing/added in "From" received message.

Hi community.
We experience the problem with malformed messages.

First of all, I want to say, that most of time kamailio works well and nothing happens that can drop sessions.
But from time-to-time something changes (may be in the network) and kamailio receives requests with malformed headers (To or From hfs).

The schema:
uplinks -> kamailio <-> routing server (asterisk)

Malformed messages were received only from asterisk server.
Sip debug on asterisk showed that messages were transmitted correctly and headers were nice.
But kamailio obtains changed (broken) packets or perhaps can't read them properly.

How does it look like:

How the packet looks like:

The transport is used to send messages between asterisk and kamailio is TCP.
TCP configurations:
tcp_connection_lifetime=3604
tcp_accept_no_cl=yes
tcp_connect_timeout=5
tcp_send_timeout=5
tcp_rd_buf_size=16384
tcp_keepalive=yes
tcp_crlf_ping=yes
tcp_keepcnt=3
tcp_keepidle=30
tcp_keepintvl=15
tcp_max_connections=4096 

I found the idea, that we need to change following parameters:
modparam("uac","restore_mode","auto")
modparam("uac","restore_dlg",1)

to:
modparam("uac","restore_mode","none")
modparam("uac","restore_dlg",0)

I did that, now it looks like all is fine, but I think it can get back.
Thanks in advance.
