Hi Rahul,

The received VIA hdr (with the .44 IP) is properly preserved when forwarding (in the outbound message).

The VIA hdr added by OpenSIPS ( .156 IP) is a completely new VIA and its branch value is completely independent from the branch of other VIA hdrs.

Why do they look the same ? The RFC3261 says that for stateless fwd (when basically there is no transaction, so no branch value), to avoid populating its VIA with ";branch=0" , the proxy may"copy" and use a branch value from an older VIA (a received VIA)- keep in mind it does not say to copy it entirely or part. So, OpenSIPS copies a MAX_BRANCH_PARAM_LEN length string from the previous branch param.

Everything is correct and legal (from RFC perspective).

PS: if you would use t_relay() instead of forward() - doing statefull proxy -, you will see that the branch in the VIA added by OpenSIPS will be completly different from the value in the previous VIA.

Hi Bogdan,

Here is a Ethernet trace (pcap) file that has a successful and an unsuccessful registration.

Frames 1-8 illustrate the successful case with Frames 2 and 6 show how opensips adds an extra VIA header that has a full VIA;branch

Frame:2

Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.204.70.156:5060;branch=z9hG4bK-c45d6-2ff0ce63-4583dc45-6bd144f8

Frames 9-16 illustrate the unsuccessful case where Frames 10 and 14 show how opensips adds an extra VIA header that has a truncated branch.

Hi Rahul,

That define is used to calculate the the max VIA len when OpenSIPS is generating its own VIA headers. That max len does not impact the VIA headers which were received.

I do not understand exactly (in your example) what's the flow of that VIA header. If you want, send me off-list the pcap/ngrep showing the SIP package (before and after OpenSIPS) and how it is affected.

    We are using opensips 1.11.5 as a stateless proxy and seeing a
    truncated Branch in Via for my REGISTER message. After some code
    digging, the MAX length is calculated using the following formula
    and seems like its truncating the branch after 55 characters. This
    is causing the REGISTER to fail in our case. Is there a config
    level solution to this ?
