[Serusers] MSRTC DLL Bug with SER

Wed Aug 18 12:54:01 CEST 2004

Yes, when i use UDP, SER sets the request-uri properly it seems (or i
don't know, maybe RTC does something that causes SER to recognize the
correct address). And still yes, UDP uses record_route. I've tried
removing record route and hence putting the two UAs in peer-to-peer
session.....and TCP did work fine this way.

But still, i have no idea why it shouldn't work with record_route
(TCP) while it does so with UDP. >_<;;

Here's another sample SIP Message capture, this time showing the UDP packets.

First, the UA that initiated the call sends a message

Let me know if you'd find something else about the TCP bug using
record_route. ^_^

Id really appreciate it. i'll see what i can do about the checking
module in rr.so but Im not sure my C skills are up to the task of
touching SER's modules, it's been many years since i last programmed
in C. ^_^;;

Thanks for the bits of information and help you gave. It made the issue clearer.
