Hello Nicolas,

another mail from me, one more thing you should verify. Here you have ngrep
from my proxy1 that is directly connected to the Cisco 7960. I stripped
everything unimportant from this to enhance readability:

#
U 2004/09/16 18:57:34.088150 proxy1:5060 -> cisco7960:5070
SIP/2.0 200 OK.
Contact: <sip:07154802860 at gw1;user=phone>.
Record-Route: <sip:+497154802860 at proxy3:5070;lr>,
<sip:+497154802860 at proxy2:5070;lr>,
<sip:07154802860 at proxy1;lr>.

The Cisco 7960 receives the OK message from proxy1. It contains the Contact
field and the Record Route Fields for the proxy chain to the gateway. Note
that all Record Route Fields contain the ;lr parameter (or ;lr=on in your
case). 
The next step is the ACK from the Cisco 7960.

#
U 2004/09/16 18:57:34.298054 cisco7960:5070 -> proxy1:5060
ACK sip:07154802860 at proxy1:5060;lr SIP/2.0.
Route: <sip:+497154802860 at proxy2:5070;lr>,
<sip:+497154802860 at proxy3:5070;lr>,
<sip:07154802860 at gw1:5060;user=phone>.
.

As you can see, it does not follow the Loose Route definitions. The ACK
Request-URI does not equal the Contact from the preceeding 200 OK. Instead
it contains the first hop (thus the last entry) of the Record Route Field
from the 200 OK. As you can also see, it added the Contact Field from 200 OK
at the End of the Route Field, without the ;lr parameter! This is absolutely
fine behaviour. Now watch what happens when the proxy processes this message
with loose_route():

#
U 2004/09/16 18:57:34.301417 proxy1:5060 -> proxy2:5070
ACK sip:+497154802860 at gw1:5060;user=phone SIP/2.0.
Route: <sip:+497154802860 at proxy2:5070;lr>,
<sip:+497154802860 at proxy3:5070;lr>.
.

The proxy detects that the last entry of the Route Field does not contain
the ;lr parameter, so it sets this last entry as Request-URI for the ACK
message to the next proxy and removes this from the Route Field. From now on
we have perfectly fine Loose Routing, even though the Cisco does not care
about it. It should not matter for the further processing of the request in
the proxy chain.

You have to debug your messaging chain at all devices to find out what is
going wrong. I really can't see the Cause of the error. Maybe it's related
to the NAT-traversal you are performing.

Regards,
Martin
