I think that the solution is using force_tcp_alias. This would solve the problem for the incoming bye, as ser would
search for an already open tcp connection to alice (let's hope is still there). The phone of alice needs not know/support
connection reuse draft (ser does).
This solved a similar problem i used to have, as you pointed me. Now i do a force_tcp_alias for all mesages going
through the config file ... probably not optimal, but my config file is faaar from optimal :)

Hi everybody,

A short question:

alice@atlanta.com is behind NAT. She uses TCP to connect her UAC to
sip.atlanta.com in the public network.
Inviting bob@biloxi.com suceeds. But Bob can't terminate the call. His
BYE is not routed back, because fix_nated_contact() does only work with
UDP. And Bob builds the R-URI with the Infos of Alice's contact header.

The route is as follows:
alice@atlanta.com [172.16.0.4] -> natbox.atlanta.com [ 172.16.0.1 |
192.168.0.13] -> sip.atlanta.com [192.168.0.14] -> sip.biloxi.com
[192.168.1.14] -> bob@biloxi.com [192.168.1.1]

Possible solutions:
- force_tcp_alias() -> but reading the draft
draft-ietf-sip-connect-reuse-04.txt yields that this must be supported
by the components - so doesn't the snom360 of Alice
- commenting some lines in nathelper.c and activate it for TCP -> this
works pretty fine and the BYE finds its way from Bob through the NAT-Box
to Alice. But this is a dirty solution.

So does anybody has a similar problem? My config works fine with UDP but
switching to TCP makes life hard...
I attached the traces Bob received, his last BYE is finally dropped by
sip.atlanta.com, because the network-address 172.16.0.4 can't be found!

Thank you for your help!
regards, Philipp
