Question

I am writing a SIP server, and I have it taking calls and then connecting them to a voip phone, the problem is when you hang up the voip phone, there's something wrong with the forwarding of the BYE message where my cell phone doesn't end the call.

Here is the SIP message log (I replaced my server's phone number with 1234 and my cell phone's phone number with 5678, my server's IP has been replaced with x's and my voip phone's IP has been replaced with y's) -

Was it helpful?

Solution

You might want to check what does the value of warning header says. There is some custom message "Noisy feedback tells"... this is very application specific. Request Timeout messages are usually emulated by stack when transaction timeout is expired. That might mean your BYE request to 174.37.45.134:5060 could not reach destination. This can also be the case when original BYE request is malformed and other party ignores it.

Have you tried debugging your server locally with SIPp?
You can also run Ethereal (Wireshark) to check your traffic.

OTHER TIPS

"via_cnt==1092" is also very suspicious.

BTW, you appear to building a B2BUA, in that you accept the call from the outside before even sending an invite to local phone (1234). If the local phone were to accept with different parameters, accept a different codec, etc you'd be screwed since you told the local phone to send media directly to the original caller. They really should both be sending their media to your server, which would relay (or if needed transcode).

If you don't want to do that (i.e. you don't want to act as media relay and possible transcoder), you need to forward the INVITE to the local phone, then forward any response, etc. Basically act more as a SIP proxy server and not a SIP B2BUA.

I'd recommend to check if calling leg accepts BYE request (looks it accepts but...) and how it handles this request. What you really need is similar log from 174.37.45.134. It seems problem is behind .134 (timeout was generated by .134).

BTW as for first look I see you are breaking several basic call processing rules which could get you in such trouble: - You are missing Trying response for originating call leg. If originator's SIP stack really waits for this it could lead to call ID not really recorded. Yes, this is buggy behavior but we are living in real world. Standards say to respond with Trying ASAP (even before you are doing routing, just after call authentication - You are fully establishing call session with calling party before even initiating outgoing INVITE to called party. This is wrong logics. At least because in case of failed outgoing call originator will be billed.

If you can do this quick I'd recommend to fix call setup sequence first. You anyway will need this and there is possibility this will fix call termination:

INVITE  ->
TRYING  <-
        -> INVITE
        <- TRYING
        <- RINGING
RINGING <-
        <- OK
OK      <-
ACK     ->
        -> ACK

If you wish to be compliant with RFC 3261, it is mandated that the "Via" headers you send include the optional(!) "branch" parameter.

See RFC3261 ss 20.42:

Even though this specification mandates that the branch parameter be present in all requests, the BNF for the header field indicates that it is optional. This allows interoperation with RFC 2543 elements, which did not have to insert the branch parameter.

RFC 3261 dictates that the numbers (URI) associated in To and From Fields remain the same. If NAT’ing is involved, the IPs can change, however the numbers must remain constant. If you notice, the ‘To’ and ‘From’ fields in the BYE header are swapped making it a malformed packet.
