Hello again,

You were right, as soon as I made changes in asterisk SIP profile for the Kamailio proxy server and stopped the 401 Auth from Asterisk to Kamailio the CANCELS started to work fine. 

So the SIP flow now is: 

- invite from phone to kamailio
- kamailio asks for authentication - 407
- ack
- invite with credentials, kamailio forwards to asterisk
- asterisk starts processing the invite and call can be cancelled now.


Thanks alot

Sammy.

Hey Daniel, 

I've exactly followed your point, I'll try some stuff on asterisk server to stop asking for 401 Auth to Kamailio., maybe this will eliminate the need for another INVITE with authentication params.

But one thing which just makes me curious is that a soft phone directly coming from a Public IP is always able to successfully CANCEL the call.

Anyway I'll use some brain of mine on this and let you know what resolved it, or what I'm missing.

Thanks,
Sammy

Hello,

is the SIP trace complete?

What I could find inside is:
- invite from phone to kamailio
- kamailio asks for authentication - 407
- ack
- invite with credentials, kamailio forwards to asterisk
- asterisk asks for authentication - 401
- ack
- there is no new INVITE with credentials for kamailio and asterisk
- but the phone starts sending CANCELs -- since there is no active INVITE transaction, kamailio just drops it due to config rules
- after a while asterisk starts sending like 180 ringing, then 200ok ... really strange

Maybe you haven't captured all the sip traffic. If you want to use ngrep, do on kamailio server:


ngrep -d any -qt -W byline port 5060

If that's all the traffic, then xlite and asterisk seems to have some bugs - both were aware of 401 reply (asterisk generated it, xlite sent the ACK for it) -- so no ongoing call to CANCEL by xlite, or to answer by Asterisk (the 180, 200 replies).

From kamailio point of view, if there is no INVITE following the 401 reply to xlite, there is no active invite transaction to cancel.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,

I will look over it soon - since you sent pcap I couldn't look at it directly from the email. ngrep outputs plain text which is easy to read from email, the reason I am asking mainly for ngrep traces since many times I am not around a computer where is convenient to open pcap file. On the other hand, if it is a transmission problem (at transport layer), pcap file is better.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello again,

Please see the attached wireshark trace, I tried for a sipgrep trace but couldn't somehow. I hope this will get me some clue on what I'm doing wrong.

This is a setup with Kamailio in front of Asterisk Servers. Kamailio is multihomed and MS are on private IPs, all the calls are routed to MSs and then comeback for further dial-outs.

Please see the Continuous CANCEL requests which aren't terminating the call.

Thanks,
Sammy.

Hello,

send the ngrep trace of such call, from the initial INVITE, you can use:

ngrep -d any -qt -W byline port 5060

The sip trace will help to see what is wrong with that CANCEL.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello list,

I'm using Kamailio 3.1.5 in front of asterisk servers. Kamailio handles all the SIP registrations. Calls from SIP phones are forwarded to asterisks and then dialled out to Kamailio.

Problem: 
When call is initiated from a softphone and is in ringing phase, CANCEL just don't work. I've done some initial debugging and the following piece of code in main route is failing.

# CANCEL processing
if (is_method("CANCEL"))
{
     xlog("L_NOTICE","$rm from $fu (IP:$si:$sp) ---CAPTURED IN MAIN---\n");
     if (t_check_trans()){
        t_relay();
        xlog("L_NOTICE","$rm from $fu (IP:$si:$sp) ---CHECK TRANS TRUE---\n");
     }
     xlog("L_NOTICE","$rm from $fu (IP:$si:$sp) ---CHECK TRANS FALSE---\n");
     exit;
}

Also the CANCEL fails the has_totag() condition !

The same Call CANCEL scenario works fine for any client on Public IP !

Hope to get some pointers for the solution.

Regards,
Sammy.
