Hi Bogdan,
the host (like name) is mandatory - if no port and no
proto is given,
you will use the host name (sip.com) to do NAPTR lookup to get the
supported protos and than SRV lookup to get the machine name and port.
if only the port is missing, only SRV lookup will be done to get the
machine name and port.
if only proto is missing, it will be assumed UDP and normal
(A record) DNS lookup performed.
Hmmh, seems to me that there's a slight misunderstanding
here. The new function should imho also replace the current
t_relay() - from the user's point of view this means for me:
route the message statefully to the next hop.
The user does not need to (and can not, except he does
the RFC3263 resolution manually) specify a destination
proxy - OpenSER should be able to determine it according
to the SIP DNS resolution rules (RFC 3263).
So my point of view: if no host is passed, OpenSER uses
the destination URI to query the DNS (NAPTR) to determine
what protocol the destination proxy prefers (Samuel made
the correct point in his email, RFC 3263 states that the
destination proxy must decide on the protocol to use)
and then must do the SRV record and possibly A record
lookup for the correct host to contact.
time? hard to say...until the next release anyhow...
Doesn't sound too optimistic if we need it in the next
three months, right?... ;)
Thanks,
best regards
