[SR-Users] MSRP communication through Kamailio

Hello,

If your client supports RFC 4975 for peer-to-peer MSRP then you will see
those attributes in the SDP.  That doesn't mean that the client supports
RFC 4976 MSRP relay.

Kamailio is an MSRP relay, not a B2BUA.  If you want MSRP B2BUA in Kamailio
you'd need to write a whole new module just for that.  However, Kamailio
isn't really the right architecture for a B2BUA.

If your client does not support RFC 4976 you aren't going to be able to use
it with Kamailio.  In this situation you will need some form of B2BUA
(probably an SBC) with MSRP support in it - and that probably means a
commercial product with a significant price attached.

Regards,

Peter
