Oh, sorry. I misread that. But the cause is probably the same. OpenSIPS is 
retransmitting the 4XX because it is not associating the ACK with the failed 
transaction. A SIP trace would still be very helpful in debugging the problem.

The ack is from the cp. opensips is sending the 4xx.
I'll try the same on another provider. Thanks for the info

The most likely cause is that there is something wrong in the format of the ACK 
which is causing the far end to not recognize it as being the ACK for that 4XX 
response. So the far end will continue to retransmit the 4XX response. On the 
OpenSIPS side, these are recognized as retransmissions so the previous response 
is resent without triggering the failure route.

The reason it happens on 4XX but not on 200 OK is that ACKs within a dialog – 
for 200 OK responses to INVITE or BYE – are actually requests themselves and 
are sent end-to-end just like INVITEs and BYEs. These ACKs are constructed 
following the rules for any request within a dialog [1].

ACKs to failure responses, however, are transmitted at the transaction layer 
which means in this case they are being generated by OpenSIPS directly. 
Transactional ACKs are not requests and the rules for constructing them are 
different [2]. The most important parts are that the Via and Request-URI 
headers must match those in the initial request exactly.

I have encountered this problem several times when my manipulations of messages 
in the routing script cause the ACKs to be malformed. I would suggest capturing 
a SIP trace of the failing transaction and verify the ACK is constructed 
properly.

Subject: [OpenSIPS-Users] multiple retransmissions on 4XX after ACK

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this a problem or normal behaviour or I'm doing something wrong.


after a 4XX is sent and the ACK recieved I can see 3 retransmissions of
the 4XX message all with corresponding ACKs. Whywould it re transmit
after an ACK

in the logs in the reply route I only see one. Is there something I
should be doing or is this normal behaviour. It doesnt do it with BYEs

We are testing with BT next wee and I'd like everything to be shipshape

this is from the carrier to opensips
