Hi,

I suppose calling set_forward_no_connect() at the LB for a request from the registrar to a user will lead to the result. LB won't try to make an outgoing tcp/tls connection to reach a requested destination and will only forward a request only via existing one.

Thanks for your explanation, the problem is that the actual lookup is done by a proxy which is located after our load balancer. Therefore, the TCP connection with the UA should not be visible by the proxy but by the load balancer.

 

How does that work in such case?

set_forward_no_connect() called after lookup() prevents kamailio from making a new connection to a phone if there is no active connection.
This is useful when you are trying to call to a UA which kamailio still keeps registration record for, but TCP/TLS connect to this phone is already gone (due to timeout, network problem, etc...).

In general, it happens in our network (as more and more Via headers are added).

 

Sorry, I didn't understand your last sentence. What do you mean by not connect if there is no active connection after location lookup?

Hello,

where are typically those issues with truncated SDP? On the phones?

If you use tcp and have phones behind the nat, it is recommended to not connect if there is no active connection after location lookup -- see core functions for tcp.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,

 

We sometimes get issues caused by truncated SDP bodies. Therefore, we are looking at using TCP instead of UDP.

 

What is the recommended configuration when TCP is used?

 

Currently, I only have the following:

 

children=16

listen=udp:<ip>:5060

listen=tcp:<ip>:5060

disable_tcp=no

tcp_connection_lifetime=605 (registration expiry is 600)

 

Also, is there a difference with UDP regarding NAT handling?

 

Thanks,

Mickael
