Right. However, in this case I didn't think the "FLB_IPV6" flag was being used by any modules. I did some research and came across this on https://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/utils:flags

"branch flags - (NEW) are saved also in transaction, but per branch; also they will be saved in usrloc (per contact). A new set of functions were added for manipulating these flags from script. So, there flags will be registration persistent and branch persistent."

I don't see anything in the register module that could be used to extract flags from usrloc so I simply added this to the dial-plan but it didn't return true.

    if(isflagset(FLB_IPV6))
        {
             xlog("L_WARN","FLB_IPV6 WAS SET! \n");

        }


Thanks

Hi Isaac,

Not all flags are explicitly used elsewhere in the logic of a config;
some are used to convey information to modules.

In this case:

    modparam("nathelper", "sipping_bflag", FLB_NATSIPPING)

    
https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.1.x/modules/nathelper.html#nathelper.p.sipping_bflag

In other words, if this branch flag is set, this Contact will be marked
by the nathelper module for periodic pinging via OPTIONS or INFO[1]. The
purpose of this periodic server-side pinging is to keep NAT pinholes
alive.

Hello,

In the example for a dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 Kamailio setup here: 
https://kb.asipto.com/kamailio:kamailio-mixed-ipv4-ipv6 the "FLB_IPV6" flag is being 
sent on IPv6 registrations. Why set this flag on IPv6 registrations? If I understand 
correctly, registration requests never make it beyond !save("location so it's not like 
the flag can be used further in the dial-plan.

The code in question:

route[REGISTRAR] {
        if (is_method("REGISTER"))
        {
                if(isflagset(FLT_NATS))
                {
                        setbflag(FLB_NATB);
                        # uncomment next line to do SIP NAT pinging
                        ## setbflag(FLB_NATSIPPING);
                }
                if(af==INET6)
                        setbflag(FLB_IPV6);
                if (!save("location"))
                        sl_reply_error();
                exit;
        }
}


Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
