Niranjan, Multi-homing and multi-streaming are generally used when your proxy acts as a B2BUA. These are used because B2BUA is a single point of failure and hence High Availability needs to be added for robustness.
My guess is your proxy is acting like a B2BUA. Can you check your proxy behavior? Thanks, Sai. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Niranjan Gopalakrishnan Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2006 5:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Sip-implementors] Multi homed Proxy Im working with an implementation of a Multi homed proxy - uses 2 interfaces, I presume one external and one internal. On receiving a request on one interface, it forwards it to itself on the destination interface, eventually adding itself twice in the Record-Route header (with r2 parameter) before forwarding the request. Response is processed similarly. Why is such a behaviour required? If this is to seperate the netowrk topology (external, internal) the same can be achieved by an IP gateway. I am sure there is only one instance of the Proxy running on the host. This behaviour is not affecting our functionality. But I need to understand the reason behind it. Any pointers appreciated.
