[SR-Users] Missing ACK

Hi!

Kamailio behaves correct in this trace and I couldn't spot an abvious 
error in the trace.

Nevertheless there are 2 problems:

1. Asterisk Gateway does not receive/accept the ACK
2. Asterisk PBX does not retransmit ACK

reg. 1: ask the gateway operator if he sees the ACK in the Asterisk log, 
and if yes the error message of Asterisk why this ACK is not accepted. 
If the ACK is not seen in the Asterisk console then maybe it gets 
dropped by a buggy firewall.

reg 2: login to your Asterisk PBX and verify if Asterisk receives the 
200 OK, and maybe spot some log message why it does not trigger ACK 
retransmissions.

regards
Klaus

The original log was inadequate - Klaus was a great help, with suggestions to obtain new log. So here it is attached and anonymized with all ip addresses (and stuff) converted to private adresses. The Kamailio server is multi homed and the two networks are non-routable (I use rtpproxy to bridge media). Our Asterisk PBX is version 1.4.26.1 and the Asterisk Gateway is 1.6.1 (or 1.6.0 - cant remember and not under my control). Kamailio is version 3.0.0.

The OK is relayed back to the originating Asterisk PBX which seems to ignore the retransmission. In fact it seems that Kamailio is routing and relaying the sip packets correctly. However, it seems that the problem only exists between Asterisk and Kamailio. I have other pbx'es (3CX) connecting to Kamailio and I have no evidence that the problem happens with those. I have another trace where the call comes from one of the Asterisk Gateways  and is routed back to one of the other Asterisk Gateways. The result is the same - the OK's are ignored by Asterisk.
