Hello,

I am not sure what variant you want to advocate with this message/excerpt from RFC, but it is about "forwarded response to a **request that contains a To tag**", and the request (the initial INVITE) has no To tag.

For replies corresponding to requests within dialog, the to-tag has to be preserved and I think kamailio does it even if it has to generate a reply (e.g., timeout on re-INVITE routing).

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,

 

just to add to the RFC quoted below: this is referring to 1xx or 2xx responses. But later on, in the section, the RFC seems to be quite clear:

 

         If the only

         response that was received is a 503, the proxy SHOULD generate

         a 500 response and forward that upstream.

 

         A proxy MUST NOT modify the To tag in any forwarded response to

         a request that contains a To tag.

Hi Daniel,

 

thanks for looking into this.

 

The initial INVITE does not have a to-tag but there is an intermediate session progress with a to-tag. See grep below.

 

The RFC does not distinguish between established or provisional dialogs when it comes to the handling of the to-tags. If there is a to-tag it must not be changed by the Proxy. Clearly that must be so because the to-tag is used by the UAC to identify the call. 

 

Best Gerry

Did the initial INVITE received the 200ok, the call is connected and this is the case of a re-INVITE? In such case the dialog has to be terminated by a BYE.

If the call is not established, so it is between initial INVITE and no 200ok was received, then the INVITE request did not contain the To-tag. And what is done by Kamailio is valid as per email responses so far.

Maybe you can just send the ngrep output with all sip requests/replies for this case and we can see exactly which scenario you talk about.

As far as I read this is not correct. Also a provisional dialog is a dialog according to RFC3261. Only in the case that the request did not contain a to-tag the provisional messages may insert their own to-tags:

 

"1xx and 2xx responses may be involved in the establishment of
         dialogs.  When a request does not contain a To tag, the To tag
         in the response is used by the UAC to distinguish multiple
         responses to a dialog creating request.  A proxy MUST NOT
         insert a tag into the To header field of a 1xx or 2xx response
         if the request did not contain one.  A proxy MUST NOT modify
         the tag in the To header field of a 1xx or 2xx response.”
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261#page-111

 

In any case, this bug is not a about provisional messages. The 500 message terminates the dialog for the UAC (yate) and the UAC needs to be able to identify it. An UAC identifies the dialog by the call-id, local tag and remote tag.

 

12 Dialogs

A dialog is identified at each UA with a dialog ID, which consists of a Call-ID value, a local tag and a remote tag…"

This parameter is probably to have a shortcut of doing:

failure_route[REMAP503] {

  if(t_check_status("503")) {

     t_reply("500", "Server error");
     exit;

}

Being like the server application is generating the 500 (so using own tag), instead of forwarding the 503. Not a bug, but if anyone is willing to add an option to allow re-using the to-tag from received reply, I am fine with it.

Anyhow, even if this would be fixed, I am wondering how yate is going to work in parallel/serial forking scenarios where different to-tags flow for a while and the final failure response can have any to-tag, including a new one (e.g., from a device not sending any 1xx or again from kamailio (e.g., when last target doesn't reply at all)).

Cheers,
Daniel

The SIP code 503 is tricky in the sense that i can indicate either server maintenance or server overload. In both cases it can send Retry-After header and any subsequent requests from same source are ignored for the duration of Retry-After interval. [1].

 

Additionally RFC3261 and RFC3263 define that transport failures (generally due to fatal ICMP errors in UDP and connection failures in TCP) should be treated as 503 response. [2].

 

So in all above cases, it is most likely that dialog does not establishes at all and 503 response is treated similar to stateless response. Therefore, a to-tag can be added/replaced before sending it to UAC.

 

Theoretically, kamailio should check and use to-tag from 503 response when converting it to 500 response and only create new to-tag if it is absent.

Hope this helps.

Lets see if maybe others can comment as well. Otherwise you could just open an issue on our tracker, it is probably not that hard to change this.

Subject: [SR-Users] bug ? remap_503_500 breaks dialogs

 

Hi,

 

I am using Kamailio 5.2. 

 

Apparently the remapping of 503 to 500 codes in the tm module does also change the to-tag. This behaviour breaks dialogs with yate and therefore calls hang and the 503 remains unacknowledged. After disabling the 503 to 500 remapping with modparam("tm", "remap_503_500", 0) all works fine again.

 

Changing the to-tag in a dialog seems to contradict RFC3261, or do I see this wrongly?

12 Dialogs

A dialog is identified at each UA with a dialog ID, which consists of a Call-ID value, a local tag and a remote tag…"

 

Thanks for looking into this.

 

Gerry
