we are experiencing some issues with UPDATE messages being sent by the PSTN after an early media announcement.

To reproduce the issue I have to call a specific number that has an early media announcement, since it's a paid phone number it has to announce how much it would cost before picking up the call. In this initial part the call is being negotiated in g711a.

As soon as the announcement ends, the PSTN sends an UPDATE message containing the new desidered codec from the callee which is g729.

At this moment Kamailio doesn't route the UPDATE message to the destination and it actually replies with a 404 message.

I've attached a pcap with anonymized IPs to make it harder for bots.

Here is a legend for the IPs:

I found a similar report in the GitHub issues of the repository and we tried forcing the record_route() as suggested but, as the OP reported in his last message, it's not working.

As soon as we disable topos, the UPDATE message is correctly relayed to the caller.

In the documentation we can't find anything that could give us a hint on what's happening.

Does anyone have any idea on what could be happening?

Thanks in advance
