Hello,
I have a question about LCR which I have been unable to solve. I have 4
upstream carrier gateways owned by 2 carriers. Each carrier provides a
primary and secondary gateway for load balancing purposes. On a 5XX error I
am trying to send the same call to the other carrier. If both carriers
reject the call with 5XX, I allow the response to go downstream to my
asterisk server. The issue I am running into is that in a scenario where
both my carriers respond with a 5XX, I end up presenting the same call to
all 4 gateways. I would like to present the call to one gateway on each
carrier and not try the same carriers second gateway for the same call.
Here is what is happening now:
ASTERISK --> INVITE --> KAMAILIO
INVITE --> CARRIER A/GATEWAY 1 <-- 5XX Error
INVITE --> CARRIER A/GATEWAY 2 <-- 5XX Error
INVITE --> CARRIER B/GATEWAY 1 <-- 5XX Error
INVITE --> CARRIER B/GATEWAY 2 <-- 5XX Error
KAMAILIO --> 5XX Error --> ASTERISK
OR any combination of the above... i.e.
ASTERISK --> INVITE --> KAMAILIO
INVITE --> CARRIER A/GATEWAY 1 <-- 5XX Error
INVITE --> CARRIER B/GATEWAY 2 <-- 5XX Error
INVITE --> CARRIER B/GATEWAY 1 <-- 5XX Error
INVITE --> CARRIER A/GATEWAY 2 <-- 5XX Error
KAMAILIO --> 5XX Error --> ASTERISK
What I want to happen is:
ASTERISK --> INVITE --> KAMAILIO
INVITE --> CARRIER A/GATEWAY 1 or 2 <-- 5XX Error
INVITE --> CARRIER B/GATEWAY 1 or 2 <-- 5XX Error
KAMAILIO --> 5XX Error --> ASTERISK
I tried dealing with the issue using some flags on the gateway, but i
couldn't get the logic to work properly. Here is the path I was heading
down, but my plan fell apart after some testing.
CARRIER A has a gateway flag of "1"
CARRIER B has a gateway flag of "2"
failure_route[1]{
$var(gw_flag) = $avp(i:712);
while(next_gw()){
if($var(gw_flag) != $avp(i:712)){
xlog("L_INFO","Found an LCR destination which is different
than current, routing. ($ci)");
t_on_reply("1");
t_on_failure("1");
t_relay();
exit;
}else{
xlog("L_INFO","The next destination in LCR has the same
AVP
flag, skipping. ($ci)");
}
}
# let the reply go upstram - it is the default action
xlog("L_ERR", "No Next Gateway - M=$rm RURI=$ru F=$fu T=$tu IP=$si
ID=$ci\n");
exit;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Geoff
