Hi Jose,
Framed IP or some king of hashing over IP/identitiy/APN... is used from PCRF for session binding. If I understand question right the short answer is that reservation from PCRF is made by Media-Component-Description not by framed IP address. In your architecture if Kamailio instance that serves Rx do not have real UE IP address (and real SDP media addresses) it cannot send proper info to PCRF. You should put Kamailio in front of SBC...

Ivo

Hi,Updating my last email, I noticed that the AVP framed_ip_address is also containing the IP address of SDP C field, so in my case that I have a SBC in front of my Kamailio doing NAT, the SDP address will be the IP of the SBC, in order that PCRF will try reserve bandwidth in the SBC.
What we can do in these cases?
Thank you for your supportBR

Hi Jason,
What could be the impact of using both modules (usrloc and ims_usrloc_pcscf)?
One of the impacts that I can see is the Shared memory, it will consume more shared memory because will save the AOR twice in memory, one in usrloc and the other in ims_usrloc_pcscf, is that right?
Another Doubt that I have:At this moment I'm only using the function rx_aar, (I'm not using ims_qos with register sip messages), and when kamailio sends an AAR to PCRF, the AVP "Flow-Description" contains the IP address of received host, that is a kamailio server acting as loadbalancer, not the Terminal IP address.
So I'm obliged to use RX on registrar messages in order to have the AOR of the SIP Terminal on the AVP "Flow-Description"? Or can I manipulate it in an easy way?
Anyway I'm facing an issue when PCRF is sending an Abort-Session Request after the call is established, Kamailio stops working with the following Log messages:

Hi José,
Unfortunately you have to use the ims_usrloc_pcscf as there are extra extra data fields that are required in the case of IMS registrations. Perhaps what you can do is run with both usrloc backends. I know that we made the restriction that you could only use one but I as soon as I get a chance I will see if it's possible for ims modules to bind specifically to the ims_usrloc_* module as well as allow you to run "other" code that bind to other usrloc backends.
CheersJason

Hi all,Once again, thank you all for the Help.
I have one last question, can I use the function Rx_AAR_Register without save the usr location information on ims_usrloc_pcscf? that is because I'm already using the usrloc module with dmq_usrloc.
I know that ims_usrloc_pcscf is a dependency of ims_qos, but the doubt here is if I don't use the ims_registrar_pcscf, the usrloc_pcscf won't be used to store usr location? And the ims_qos will works correctly?

Hi Jason,
It is always better when code "guru" shares his opinion :)
Cheers gents !

Hi gents,
we do not support the preliminary service information. So for now you can only call Rx_AAR when you have SDP in the replies. So for VoLTE (preconditions), for example you can call on 183 SP whilst using plain SIP you will have to call on the first reply you get that has SDP (either 183SP or 200OK).
HTH

Yes you send both direction media information to the PCRF but when reply is received in precondition state.

Hello Ivailo and Franz,
Thank you for your clarifications.
Well sending an AAR when receive a reply makes all sense, but ims_qos must send the SDP information from the Initial Invite and also from 183 ringing or 200Ok, Am I correct?
Because PCRF needs to know the session parameters from Initial Initial INVITE and the reply to it.
The PCRF is a proprietary solution.
Thank youBRJosé Seabra

Hi Franz,
There no real OS PCRF. Yota/Telexir use to had some free VM image that is OK for test. You can search about FreePCRF. It is a little tricky to configure it but ... I made for my tests a really dummy one based on FreeDIAMETER. Generally speaking PCRF is the "brain" of the network and you should understand and design things well there. I have experience also w/ commercial PCRFs and there is no real answer yes this is a right way of making something.
Cheers,
Ivo

Hi José,
in principle it is possible to send an AAR after receiving the request. In this case the Service-Info-Status AVP is set to PRELIMINARY SERVICE INFORMATION.
More efficient is it to wait until SDP answer is received and then the Service-Info-Status AVP is set to FINAL_SERVICE_INFORMATION.
I don’t know if both methods are covered in ims_qos module.
BTW: which PCRF are you using? Is there some open source PCRF available?

Subject: [SR-Users] Kamailio IMS_QOS
Hello There,
I'm trying using the ims_qos module with PCRF for QOS, but I'm facing some issues.
When kamailio receives an initial invite (originator), it will execute the function - "Rx_AAR("ORIG_SESSION_AAR","orig","",-1)", but the PCRF is not contacted and i see the following messages:
5(12153) DEBUG: <script>: Diameter: Orig authorizing media via Rx
5(12153) DEBUG: ims_qos [mod.c:609]: w_rx_aar(): Looking for route block [ORIG_SESSION_AAR]
5(12153) DEBUG: ims_qos [mod.c:621]: w_rx_aar(): Rx AAR called
5(12153) DEBUG: ims_qos [mod.c:1345]: create_return_code(): Creating return code of [-2] for aar_return_code
5(12153) DEBUG: ims_qos [mod.c:1354]: create_return_code(): created AVP successfully : [aar_return_code]
5(12153) DEBUG: ims_qos [mod.c:627]: w_rx_aar(): Can't do AAR for call session in request.
Why kamailio says that I Can't do AAR for call session in request? I have looked into source code and I found that the condition that is blocking the communication with PCRF is:
//We don't ever do AAR on request for calling scenario...
if (msg->first_line.type != SIP_REPLY) {
LM_DBG("Can't do AAR for call session in request\n");
return result;
}Anyone can help me understand why it is happening? why it can't proceed if isn't a reply?
Thank you for your support
