Looking a bit at the node, I see that the r-uri branch is ignored if not changed at all. So if you updated r-uri in the config, then it will be kept. But the same behaviour seems to be in 5.3. Maybe in the new config you do operations over $ru or use some functions changing it.

You can try to do revert_uri() before t_load_contacts(0).

Hello all,

Just started using v5.4.0 on our system and I noticed a change in behavior when doing the append_branch, t_load_contacts, and t_next_contacts combo. Previously using v5.3.4 and it appears to be fine.

Here's the call scenario: Kamailio receives a call to sip:1001@carrierB. Kamailio sees carrierB and appends 2 contacts: gateway1.carrierB.com;q=0.3 and gateway2.carrierB.com;q=0.2. After t_load_branches(0),

first, I am not finding the t_load_branches() function, is it supposed to be t_load_contacts()?

The, supposing it was the later, afaik, the load contacts was putting the branches in internal xavps, not pushing to the r-uri. The append_branch() was not changing the first branch (the r-uri) but adding extra. So if you have the invite coming in to u1@s.com and do append_branch(u2@s.com) and append_branch(u3@s.com), then it will be 3 branches that will go out in case of parallel forking.

With t_load_contacts() and t_next_contacts(), these 3 branches should be prepared to do serial forking.

Now, I haven't really used these functions myself to comment more, it is based on what append_branch() is doing: adding extra branches and keeping the first branch (r-uri) untouched.

But if you found a different behaviour than expected, open a bug on issue tracker and we can refer the developer of commit 1399714fbba63732f94eb8034dabb1e565ca832a (which added proportional load) to review it.

Cheers,
Daniel
I expect to see $rd to be changed to gateway1.carrierB.com, but it's not.

This is the piece of config I'm trying to debug:

xlog ("=== branch 0: $(branch(uri)[0]), $(branch(q)[0])\n");
xlog ("=== branch 1: $(branch(uri)[1]), $(branch(q)[1])\n");
t_load_contacts(0);
while (t_next_contacts()) {
xlog ("=== rd = $rd\n");
}

This is the log I get. It appears to use the backup contact first.

t_load_contacts(1) works a little better. But we don't need the probability feature.

As a comparison, this is what we've been getting in 5.3.4

Is there anything else that's been changed in branch building that we should pay attention to? Thanks.
