Hi Matt

Thank you for your very considered reply.

It's not in the user guide, but -oocsf and -oocsn allow you to load an Out 
Of Call scenario XML file.  So I am having some success in running a 
registration as a client, and either -oocsn uas which loads the built-in uas 
scenario, or my own similar server script -oocsn uas.xml.

This does seem to be something of a weakness in SIPp though, and threatens 
to limit its usefulness.  :-(

I will have a look 5645.

Thank you again for taking the time and trouble to reply, I do appreciate 
it, and I must admit I hadn't thought of using two instances as you 
describe.

Kind regards,
Steve

Subject: [Sipp-users] Registration for a server

Hi

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I want to run SIPp with a scenario 
that registers (including authentication), and then behaves as a server to 
receive incoming calls.

    REGISTER    -------->
    <--------- 401 auth="true"
    REGISTER    -------->
    <---------- 200


    <----------  INVITE

        etc

It registers OK, but then when it receives an INVITE, it discards this an 
unexpected message because the tags don't match those used in the 
registration.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Steve Edwards

Steve,

I had the same problem.  Scripts are either UAC or UAS.  But when there are 
registrations ot handle you need a combination of the two: one that assigns 
it's own call_id (UAC) to register, and one that receives the call_id from 
the far end with the initiating message to terminate an incoming call.

My interim solution was to wrap the whole thing in a shell script:

#!/bin/bash
sipp 1.2.3.4:5060 -sf register.xml -inf mynumber.csv -l 1 - m 1 -p 5060
sipp 1.2.3.4:5060 -sf called_party.xml -inf mynumber.csv -l 1 -m 1 -p 5060


to run the two scripts in series.

This is fine except for 2 scenarios:

1) if you have a short registration timeout

In my case I had to reregister every minute, so this only gave me 1 minute 
to run my called_party script before the registration expired

2) If you use SIP over TCP

I also had to test SIP over TCP support against a broadsoft platform. 
Broadsoft deregister the endpoint as soon as they receive the FIN for the 
TCP session used to register - so the above solution does not work since the 
TCP session is torn down as soon as the register script finishes.

3) If you / the SBC / the proxy need to send OPTIONS pings as keepalives.

You can use -aa to answer these, but sending them is difficult in the above 
scenario


There are scripting acrobatics that can fudge the 1st / 3rd scenarios 
above - sticking reregisters and options through your called_party script to 
keep registration alive, for example.

However, the better solution seemed to be to modify SIPP to allow two 
scripts/scenarios to run concurrently - one handling registration and one 
terminating calls.  Which is what I did in the end.  See post: 5645 for the 
patches and for details. (Re: [Sipp-users] New feature / solution: Enabling 
a mixture of server-mode and client mode operation simultaneously)
