[SR-Users] Question about using Kamailio and Asterisk and flow of an "INVITE"

[Wilkins, Steve]

Yes, that is what has me a little boggled.  If I don't, calls do not go through so I am obviously confused, but that is how I was finally able to get full duplex calls working.

In Asterisk, I have a Kamailio endpoint listening for traffic from Kamailio. How would Asterisk know the Contact information if Asterisk does not re-contact Kamailio for that Information (since all the registration information is on Kamailio).
 
I was under the impression that it is best to keep the registrations on Kamailio, why forward them.  Below is my pjsip.conf.
When a user calls 30001 at 192.21.1.5 (Kamailio IP), the call is registered in Kamailio, and Asterisk can contact Kamailio to get the 
Contact information it needs.  


Pjsip.conf

[kamailio](!)
type=endpoint
context=from-internal
transport=transport-tcp
media_address=100.20.30.125 //Asterisk PBX IP
...
aors=kamailio

[kamailio](kamailio)
aors=kamailio

[kamailio]
type=aor
contact=sip:192.21.1.5:5060

[kamailio]
type=identify  ; Must be of type identify (default: "")
endpoint=kamailio
match=192.21.1.5

[30001](webrtc) //tls endpoint
auth=auth30001
aors=30001

[auth30001](auth-userpass)
password=12345
username=30001

[30001](aor-single-reg)
contact=sip:30001 at 192.21.1.5:5060

Am I totally wrong, even though it works?

Thank you all very much!
-Steve

Are you sure that you are using the word AOR correctly? 

If you're not forwarding registrations to Asterisk but instead storing them in Kamailio's registrar, setting the Contact binding of an AOR to have the address of that very same Kamailio registrar would make no sense.
