Dear Andrew, Henning
Thanks for sharing very useful information.

I am bit new to kamailio, probably askingvery easy questions, please bear with me.

 

I am not sure if I am forwording the INVITE statelessly or not.

How do I check if INVITE is forwarded statelessly.

Andrew you have mentioned 'So make sure that a transaction exists or create it
explicitly using the tm module".

 

Not sure, how do I check if transaction exists or not. And how can I create it.

 

Please give me some pointers or a sample config file.

 

Regards,

Austin

Austin,
That is strange, because I am using similar setup successfully. Actually
I don't know if it counts the calls that are being established, I didn't
care for it.

While looking through the docs:
http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/3.1.x/modules_k/dialog.html#id2524304
 the following note caught my eye:

IMPORTANT: Users of this function should make sure that the dialog
created is further processed statefully. Specifically, if a stateless
response is sent out after dlg_manage() is called, the dialog cannot be
handled properly. So make sure that a transaction exists or create it
explicitly using the tm module. This is a shortcoming of the current
implementation that may be resolved in a future version hopefully.

Could it be that you are forwarding the INVITE statelessly?
Regards,
Andrew
