Re: [reSIProcate] Call routed back to reSIProcate by SipX PBX after 302temp moved .


The scenario you describe with the PSTN gateway boils down to the same merge request detection issue.  The problem is possible either with forking or with recursive redirecting proxies.

 

I’ll try to reword Steven’s original description – but I’ll use a PSTN gateway instead of a B2BUA for simplicity.

Steps:

1.        Call comes in from PSTN to gateway.

2.       Gateway passes the call to a recursive redirecting proxy.

3.       Proxy recursively redirects to another endpoint on the same gateway.

4.       The gateway receives a copy of the invite it sent out, but this time with a different request uri and a loop is detected.

Scott -

 

Could you re-sketch the problem for me (an example of the RURI and VIas of both of the arriving requests would help).

 

I'm pretty sure you always want the RURI as part of that check (if someone is running a pstn gateway using resip and a message 

forks to two different PSTN numbers through that gateway, the second one mustn't get 482ed) , but before we dive into it, lets get 

a concrete example to work against.

Hmm – that is an interesting problem.  Resip/dum is behaving to spec – UA’s are supposed to do merge request detection in this way.  But this detection causes problems for B2BUA’s in the scenario you described.  Maybe we should have an option for B2BUA’s that allows including the request URI in merge request detection.

 

I’d be interested to hear from others on what they think/know is correct solution to this is.

 

BTW:  You mentioned that if you include the request uri in the merge request matching, then you still get a loop detected – I don’t quite understand why that is happening.

We have a problem with reSIProcate when operating as a B2BUA between UACs and a proxy IP PBX such as SipX.

 

The scenario is:

 

The standard INVITE call flow is from  (1) UAC1 -> (2) B2BUA -> (3) SipX -> (4) B2BUA -> (5) UAC2

 

Our B2BUA is registrar for UAC1 and UAC2, and the B2BUA also registers to SipX with the ids of UAC1 and UAC2. SipX therefore believes both UAC1 and UAC2 are at the B2BUA … There is only one B2BUA, (2) and (4) represent flows through the B2BUA.

 

This works ok for a normal call. However if at step 4, the INVITE from SIPX to B2BUA is rejected with a 302 to redirect the call to UAC3 (also registered through our B2BUA) , SipX then sends another INVITE to the B2BUA with an updated URI for UAC3 but with the To & From headers unchanged.

 

reSIProcate then returns an error 482 request merged to SipX  … there was some commented out code in MergedRequestKey which appeared to check for a change in the request URI but adding this check again did not resolve the issue, 482 was still returned.

 

We are wondering whether the problem is caused because we haven’t cancelled stage (5) before returning the 302 to SipX …

 

Any ideas as to why this happens?  I have an ethereal trace available if that helps!
