[SR-Users] Call Preservation Mode in Kamailio

[Alex Balashov]

A question I would carefully consider is:

What exactly needs to be “preserved”? 

To be sure, there are some valid answers to that question: transaction state for handling CANCELs or pending requests, in-dialog variables, etc.

Still, you can kill a Kamailio instance ‘mid-call’ - or even disconnect the proxy server from the network - without interrupting the call…

I am writing a SIP Client to handle the failures by using the DNS SRV based failover and Fallback approach where I am using two Kamailio instances as Outbound Proxy resolved by DNS SRV lookup. Everything is fine except for on-going calls. How to handle the mid-call failovers? Is there any way in Kamailio like Call Preservation mode or something?
