Hello,

where do you got the information that $T_branch(name) is deprecated? It’s in 
the docs and also in the source code available:

https://www.kamailio.org/wikidocs/cookbooks/devel/pseudovariables/#t_branchname

Cheers,

Henning

Subject: [SR-Users] RTPEngine and branch_route


Hello,

Using Kamailio 6.0.2.

I'm running a registrar that can fork incoming calls to two or more registered 
users. Some users are WebRTC and others are not, so RTPEngine needs to handle 
them differently.

In the branch route, I call:
rtpengine_manage("via-branch=auto replace-origin");

However, the via-branch passed to RTPEngine doesn't match the branch ID of the 
actual INVITEs sent out.

When one branch answers, the others get a CANCEL, but the CANCEL/200 OK sent to 
RTPEngine includes a different via-branch than the one used for the original 
INVITE. This causes media handling issues.

I saw that the docs suggest using $T_branch(name) or AVPs to set the correct 
branch name, but $T_branch(name) seems deprecated or removed.

In previous setups, branching was done on a separate instance, so identifying 
the right branch was easier. Now that it's local, I’m unsure how to arm 
rtpengine_manage() with the correct via-branch.

TL;DR:
When doing local forking, how can I set the correct via-branch value for each 
leg in rtpengine_manage()?

Thanks,
David
