[SR-Users] Kamailio + rtpproxy talking to multiple carrier gateways

[Sarat C. Vemuri]

Alex,

Sorry about this clumsy way of replying, but I am stuck with Outlook 2010 and Exchange.

You stated the problem correctly.  Carrier GWs (UAS) and internal clients (UAC) cannot reach each other directly (TCP/UDP). They have to go through Kamailio and rtpproxy. I am goint to reply to Ovidiu as well with some more details.

Thanks
SV.

So in other words, there is no interface to which Kamailio could be bound on a network that both the UAC and the UAS have direct network and transport-layer reachability to?

If I understand correctly, it sounds like the fundamental problem here is that the Record-Route URI introduced by the proxy in handling the initial INVITE request has to be conserved in all subsequent requests and replies.  It is a requirement to use the same route set in sequential (in-dialog) requests such as reinvites or BYEs.  It is also mandatory for the UAS to copy the received Record-Route into the final reply (i.e. 200 OK).

The problem is that you then have to choose the network address in the Record-Route.  If either the UAC or the UAS cannot directly reach it, your problem arises.

Is this an accurate statement of the problem?  I wanted to verify before continuing.
