The problem is the Sipura/Linksys/Cisco  Phones do it the other way round - the phone going on hold  (A) sends a normal sendonly to the caller(B) . Then (A) sends a brand new invite to the MoH server(C) , passing what it thinks is the  SDP of the phone (B), but is actually the mediarelay

The 200OK SDP from the MoH sever is not used

So MoH starts to send Audio to what it thinks is (A) but actually sends it to (B)

I can detect at the SIP level the invite to MoH (based on the TO), the SDP contains the IP:Port of a valid conntrack session , so inside mediaproxy would need a new method called from opensips - "update the conntrack session (ignoring callid,)  using SDP IP:Port as a key"
Ignoring the 200OK from the MoH server for now

Then when the user is taken off hold the phone (A) will send a new invite to undo the sendonly to (B) and drop the call to (C)

Disruption to existing audio is fine as this will only happen on transition to / from MoH

WDYT?

Hi,

I am testing a mediaproxy sever using 2.3.4

The tests I have done so far have worked, however there is one scenario
where once the call has been setup a phone can generate Music on Hold

It does this by making a 2nd call (unrelated to the first at the SIP
level) and passes what it thinks is  the IP:port of the 1st call far end
(actually the mediaproxy) to the MoH server.

the MoH sever then sends audio to the mediaproxy.

However since the source of the audio is not the phone, conntrack is not
forwarding on the audio to the other end.

Options as far as I can see are

1) remove the restriction on the source IP on who is allowed to forward
rtp - from what I have ready this probably wont work

The conntrack rule is bidirectional. If you allow data from multiple sources to one destination then how would the relay know where to send traffic in the reverse direction to?

2) detect this special case and construct a temporary additional  "1
way"  conntrack just for the MoH

No such thing, as they are bidirectional.

3) detect this special case and change existing conntrack to point to
the MoH sever, putting it back later

We actually considered implementing this, but not for this particular scenario. Some modems seem to switch IP address every X hours. If this change is during a relayed call, the RTP from one end will suddenly come from a new IP address, like in your scenario. What could be done is that the relay keeps listening on the allocated ports in userspace for traffic from a different host and switch the conntrack rule to the new IP if there is no traffic coming in anymore from the old IP.

The downside of this is that it could actually allow someone to hijack your call if the relay and port are known (and there is a temporary glitch in traffic in the conntrack rule).

changes would be detected at the SIP level, or more likely conntrack
call backs

any suggestions / help appreciated.
