Thanks to Matt White, I know a lot more about this issue.
It is/was not related to the port translation issue. The phones were doing that because of this bug:
http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XTRN-942
They do not do it when they are running 3.2.4.
We spent a lot of time troubleshooting why my issue was happening. Something was causing Verizon to drop the call.
We suspected it may have been because of this:

partially because this jira item was specifically opened for a similar issue with Verizon:
http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-7517
I loaded up a 4.4 machine to make sure I could test this option:
<strict-protocol-enforcement>false</strict-protocol-enforcement>
mentioned here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg15075.html
but I didn't need to. Everything works in 4.4. I told sipxbridge to allow all codecs, and it works perfectly. The call starts out at G729, drops to G711 for hold, changes back to G729 when the transfer is done.
It works perfect. Oh well. Something must have changed...

I can shed some light on that I think. Verizon required they send us calls on port 5060. We do nat the port to 5080. We hadn't seen any issue there, but I guess we have now for some reason.
Verizon --5060-- our router -- 5080 --> sipx
when I had this problem with level3, and TRIED everyone's suggestions of pat, port forwarding, etc, I found that at LAYER4 IT WORKED, but phucked up at LAYER7.

this won't work.. did it work? no, it just sorta worked. it won't work. as in 'undefined', as in maybe, under certain circumstances, sometimes it works.

you need an application layer proxy. you need a seperate copy of FS to do this. you need an SBC to do this. you need a simple perl script to do this, and/or, I think the juniper firewalls can modify sip invites on the fly.

as in, what needs to be done?

verizon port 5060 (in the invite, verizon sends the '5060' somewhere)
you neet to xlate to port 5080. not only layer4, but layer7 (netsed?). sipx sees it as coming TO port 5080, and responds back, saying 'thanks, I got this on port 5080, continue on port 5080'

the OUTBOUNDS needs to xlate src port 5080 on sipx to 5060, AND THEN TRANSLATE THE ASCII TEXT 5080 BACK TO 5060.

so, in your case, what you are trying to do, won't work.

no, don't tell me it sorta works, you just proved it won't work.

Tony and I tried a while back, and I tried with a copy of FS on pfsense, then finally convinced level3 that if they want my $17 a month, they needed to send to me on port 5080.

Tony can tell you about how hard level3 will work for your business.

you might call them.  tell them tony and I send you.

(or help us come up with the bounty to pay for a good pfsense/fs config that will do the proxying.. I still think a couple of copies of netsed might do it, but I don't need to try today)

how to try cheaply?

get voip.ms to work with static ip authentication. if you get that to work, then you have it.


I'm not sure if that is causing my problem or not. We do not have remote workers, and I do understand where it would cause a problem there. I cannot use voip.ms here. This is a 110 site MPLS network that runs on Verizon infrastructure. For a variety of reasons, I need to use Verizon Voip services. I don't believe I have proved that the port translation is or isn't causing it.
