[reSIProcate-users] Establishing a direct RTP session between 2 SIP clients


Hi..

Using reSIProcate, I am able to establish a SIP session between two user agents A and B using the Asterix server. The two use agents register on the server and an INVITE message is sent containing the correct credentials followed by 200 OK and ACK responses.

However, now I would like to establish a two-way direct RTP session between the clients A and B, i.e. without passing the media through my server Asterix.

Can anybody please tell me if it is possible to create a direct RTP session from A to B after establishment of SIP session between them. In such a case, I also need to get the current IP address of the callee (not the mnemonic identifier) so that I can send the media directly to my client without sending it to the server? 

Looking at the logs, I observe that in the SIP session, I get the address of the server in the Via field of the SIP header and not the IP address of the callee. Also, in SDP, I dont get the callee's IP address. Can anybody tell me that how should I get the IP address of the callee if I have to establish a direct RTP session between the two clients.

Does it also depends on the server that I am using? I am using Asterix. Is it possible to create a direct RTP session with that or do I have to send the media only through the server everytime? I guess that it might create an extra overhead if I pass the media through the server for every call.

I have read that when a SIP server like SER receives a message, it can decide that it wants to stay in the loop or not. If not, SER will provide the user agents with the information they need to contact each other and then SIP messages will go directly between the two user agents.Is it possible with Asterix too?

I have a deadline of the project. Any help would be highly appreciated.
