AW: [Serusers] PRACK

[Reinhard Hainz]

Hi,

the situation is more complicated.
The environemet:

A ... a "traditional" phone in the PSTN world
B ... an other "traditional" phone in PSTN
C ... a cisco gw connecting PSTN to IP (SIP)
D ... a SIP-Server (ser)
E ... a phone number configured in ser, that is forwared to the number
of B (using URI rewriting from ser)

The request flow is as follows:

1. A is connected (over PSTN) to C
2. C sends an INVITE to D (URI: E - this is the To-Header, too)
3. D rewrites the INVITE for E to an INVITE to B
4. D sends an INVITE to C for B (E is the record-route)
5. C sends both E a PRACK
6. D sends itself a PRACK for B (but i am not forwarding it)

The question is - why does cisco send this PRACK at all. Wenn I use the
same configuration which IP-Phones only, then no PRACK are send.

At 5. the phone B rings (but no ring tone at A), and after accepting the
call at B the call is established and works. 

Regards,
Reinhard

I don't think the problem is on SER side, SER supports PRACKs
transparently. 
Feel free to send us network dumps so that we look at the problems you
have.

forwarding an incoming call from a cisco router back to it (with an
other number) à the destination telephone rings but i do not hear the
signals (ringing) on my calling phone. When the called phone accepts the
call then everything works fine.
