[SR-Users] Re: Inquiry Regarding Kamailio Behavior and Drop Requests
I don't think it's possible. It's definitely not _always_ possible. For example, if a non-SIP message arrives to kamailio, then the request_route is never going to run, because the core will drop the message first. If I was to troubleshoot this further, then I'd get logs with (millisecond) timestamps, take pcap traces at the same time, and then later see what matches. That's how I'll know which SIP messages (or IP packets) are getting dropped (to make the core:drop_requests statistic). I don't know how else to do it, but I expect that this should certainly work.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't find any suspicious logs in kamailio apart from the log which i shared with you in chain mail. Within a Pcap trace, we typically process INVITE, 300 Multiple Choice responses, and ACK messages pertaining to a specific server Note: For these drop requests, How do we acknowledge in kamailio? -- Is it possible to manage these drop requests in the Kamailio configuration file without actually dropping the request? Let me know if you need more information.

[SR-Users] Re: Inquiry Regarding Kamailio Behavior and Drop Requests
That looks to me that an ACK was received at kamailio for a response that it generated (not relayed) to the UAC. It's normal for the SL module to absorb such an ACK. It's not an error condition. Your original message was about "core:drop_requests", so I doubt that it's related. My same advice applies: take traces and logs, and correlate them. > Also I have another query, For these drop requests, How do we acknowledge in > kamailio? What do you mean, exactly?

[SR-Users] Re: Inquiry Regarding Kamailio Behavior and Drop Requests
I expect that it's not related, because the documentation is clear that the function relates to requests, not responses. https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.5.x/modules/sanity.html#sanity.f.sanity_check - 4.1. sanity_check([msg_checks [, uri_checks]]) - This function makes a row of sanity checks over the given SIP request... It seems simple: check the logs from the xlog command and see what you find. If it's not clear enough, add the Call-ID to the log message, and then also capture (tshark/tcpdump) traffic for subsequent analysis.
