Hello,

I just try to reproduce what we actually have on Oracle or what is done in opensips mid_registrar module and trust the A leg user as long as it come from the same IP/port couple that have successfully registered.

I paste the process description of the mechanism described on opensips module page.

But I can understand your choice to not go that way.

Contact throttling

In "contact throttling" mode, the mid-registrar can significantly reduce the registration rate on the main registrar side (between mid-registrar and main registrar), while coping with a high registration rate on the end-user side (between end-user and mid-registrar). This is useful in scenarios were the end-users are very dynamic and short-lived (like on mobile devices), but the main registrar cannot cope with large traffic.

Traffic conversion is done in a "per-device" manner, according to each unique SIP Contact header field value. It is achieved by increasing the "expires" parameter value of each contact, when relaying registrations to the main registrar. Once such a registration is completed, subsequent registrations for the same SIP Contact header field value will be continuously absorbed by the mid-registrar until, eventually, the lifetime of the remote registration will have decreased enough that a refresh (i.e. simply forwarding the next REGISTER request) is mandatory.

A common occurence is for some SIP User Agents to lose their network connection (especially when dealing with mobile devices), hence they do not properly de-register from the mid-registrar. In this case, in order to avoid stale registrations on the main registrar (which contains SIP contacts with greatly extended lifetimes!), the mid-registrar will appropriately generate De-REGISTER requests and remove these contacts from the main registrar's location service as soon as it considers them to have expired.

The main practical use for this mode is registration traffic conversion. By minimizing the strain of processing registrations on the main registrar, we allow it to dedicate more system resources to critical areas of the platform, such as advanced SIP calling features and/or media handling.

Subject: Re: [SR-Users] Local cache registration

If you do not have access to credentials on Kamailio, how do you want to authenticate registrations coming every 5min? If you want to reuse the auth headers from the 1-hour based registration, then you create a big security problem, normally nonce is valid very short time to avoid reply and offline brute force attacks.

Note that Kamailio can connect to other databases+tables to fetch username and password, it doesn't have to be "subscriber" style. You can customize table name and column names. For example, it can connect to asterisk realtime database to fetch the password from "secret" column.

Cheers,
Daniel

I read again the uac doc and didn’t find a way to perform this using the functions that seems to require credentials that I don’t have on the kamailio host.
 
Is the uac module really designed to perform this operation is that way ?

the uac module does that. You can handle upstream registrations in different
intervals than the ones you receive.
