Hi all,

I'm facing a problem  with "early CANCEL's" such the one described in this thread. The scenario is the following  one:

A PSTN call to a SIP phone. When the PSTN decides to cancel the call only a right after initiating, the PSTN will send the CANCEL message to the SER but this is discarded and not forwarded to the correct path to the SIP Phone. So what happens is that we have a ghost call.... The PSTN has already canceled the call but the SIP phone continues to ring.
 
The code that I have in the SER script is really simple and the behavior to a CANCEL is the same as to a INVITE:

if(subst_uri('/^sip:(\+[0-9]+)@192.168.20.69.*user=phone$/sip:\1@xlab.com/i')){
             record_route();
             loose_route();
             t_relay_to_udp("192.168.20.5", "5060");
             break;
}
In the log file I see that:
RFC3261 transaction matching failed
t_lookup_request: no transaction found
e2e_cancel: e2e cancel proceeding


During this thread I saw that a  CANCEL handling tm option was decided to be created. Maybe this option can help me to solve the ghost call issue. How can I change the default behavior ?  this feature is available  from which  SER release ?

Any idea how I can solve this isse?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

which does not appear really reboot-safe to me. What it can lead to that ser reboot
affects pending calls in that cancels are never forwarded and ringing phones will
never stop ringing -- not very pleasant indeed, is it.
