RE: [reSIProcate] Routing of signalling via proxy - opinions?


Record-route will only help for messages that go through your proxy - if the INVITE is not even hitting your proxy, then you will need some other mechanism to tell Asterick to send all requests through you.  I don't know asterick at all but maybe you can configure your proxy as an outbound proxy on asterick?  So that it will route all requests through you first.
 
Or...I'm not 100% sure if this is possible or not - but you could try adding an embedded Route header to the Contact Uri of Registrations that pass through you.

I wasn’t intending my proxy to be the registrar, merely to route the REGISTER requests to the registrar in addition to the normal proxying behaviour of the call signalling.

 

As an example scenario, I want to sit my proxy logically between an Asterisk PBX (registrar) and the SIP phones it uses so that all calls can be monitored using my proxy.

 

The tricky bit seems to be forcing the Asterisk to route calls to the SIP phones via my proxy. It appears to ignore the maddr parameter and send the INVITEs directly to the phones. Do you think Record-Route will solve this?   

 

Thanks for the tip about repro, I’ve downloaded it and am taking a look.

If the UA's register with your proxy and are only reachable via their AOR - then using Record-Routing on the proxy is the way to go. 

 

You may want to take a look at repro - it is a proxy built ontop of resiprocate.  Repro already supports record routing - you could just extend repro to add your monitoring code.

Subject: [reSIProcate] Routing of signalling via proxy - opinions?

I am developing a SIP proxy to monitor SIP call signalling using reciprocate and need to force all call signalling traffic via my proxy to maintain an accurate call state model.

 

For outbound calls from a UA, the UA can be pointed towards the proxy, so that is straightforward. For inbound calls to any UA that I need to monitor using my proxy, there needs to be some method for forcing call signalling to my proxy rather than directly to the UA. For example, my proxy could sit logically between an Asterisk PBX and a UA for that PBX, or between a E1->SIP gateway and an array of UA’s.

 

As far as I understand, there are a couple of approaches I can use to achieve this ..

 

1)       Use the maddr= parameter. By forcing the UA to register with my proxy, I can manipulate the REGISTER by adding the maddr= parameter before forwarding the REGISTER to the real registrar. In theory at least, this should force the inbound calls to be routed via my proxy by the Asterisk / SIP server.

2)       Using the RFC3581 mechanism for NAT traversal appears to provide a method of forcing a call signalling path via a specific proxy using the Record-Route and rport= parameter.

 

Have I missed anything? Which method is preferred?


Thanks,

 

Steve
