Unreachable port when using TCP.

1. Brekeke Product Name and version: Brekeke SIP Server , Version 2.4.8.6 Evaluation

2. Java version: 5

3. OS type and the version: Windows XP

4. UA (phone), gateway or other hardware/software involved:

5. Select your network pattern from http://www.brekeke-sip.com/bbs/network/ ... terns.html : 1

6. Your problem:
I have the following problem when using Brekeke SIP Server over TCP.

My implementation receive an INVITE from Brekeke:

INVITE sip:joe@10.130.4.160:5060 SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/TCP 10.130.4.138:4846;rport;branch=z9hG4bK7a41623fa6535a8966be-7f3e03e-2baf5f79

Record-Route: <sip:10.130.4.138:4846;transport=tcp;lr>
Content-Type: application/sdp
Content-Length: 384
...

from which the Contact and Record-Route headers mention to use port 4846. But then this port is unreachable (I checked with netstat, and I did not see a listen on that port). I think that this is an error and that Brekeke should specifies 5060. If really 4846 should be used, then Brekeke should listen on that port, but this is not the case. This makes my implementation to fail to send a BYE.

This looks similar to something that has been fixed in release 2.4.8.6 "- Fixed the bug where the registrar may not point reachable port number if a user registers over TCP. "

Anybody knows if this is a bug and if it will be fixed ?

Thanks,
Pierre

set &net.sip.transport.follow.request = true in the DialPlan's Deploy Patterns.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
http://wiki.brekeke.com/wiki/TCP-Support-Details
net.sip.transport.follow.request: default: false; if true, a SIP request packet will be sent over the same transport of the initial request packet.

Thank you Haddas,

But this does not work. I tried also &net.sip.tcp.reuse=false without success.

I think that both these patterns are for requests from Brekeke.

My issue is when the initial request (INVITE) comes from Brekeke. And then my application wants to sent a new request (BYE) in the opposite direction. To do so, it needs to use the address from the Contact header, or from the Record-Route header if present:

Brekeke <----> My application
----> INVITE
<---- 200 OK
----> ACK
<---- BYE (cannot open TCP connection using the Contact or Record-Route headers' port.

Any other suggestion ?

Thanks,

It seems the UAC (Caller) is Kapanga.

What kind of SIP entity are you using as the UAS (Callee)?
If you use another Kapanga as UAS also, does the same problem happen?
