Thanks for the reply Max, 

 

we are doing all we can to make the packets smaller, but before we move over to 
TCP, which is most likely our next step, I wanted to explore what could be 
happening.

 

AFAIK the application have some control of this since these are parameters that 
partly can be set when you open a socket, that’s why I wonders if Opensips 
might use those parameters or not, especially since we have so very different 
behaviour in different directions.

Ämne: Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] UDP fragmentation in reply routes

 

Smells like a OS/kernel bug to me. There is little application can do in that 
regard, UDP fragmentation/reassembly happens at much lower layers of the OSI 
stack.

 

However, as a workaround as long as SIP goes you can try to reduce your SIP 
signalling packet size by using compact version of SIP headers, as well as 
dropping headers that are not used. That would save you 100-150 bytes per SIP 
message perhaps. I don't know if OpenSIP can do that in the proxy mode out of 
the box though, so you might want to add b2b into the flow.

Hi,

 

We have an issue on our home proxy (opensips 2.4.6), when it receives  200 OK 
(over UDP)  from our Freeswitch and the package size is higher than the MTU 
size , we sometimes get fragmentation  of the UDP packets, but only the first 
part of the fragmented package is sent to our edge proxy. Is this a known issue 
or is it a OS bug?

 

We have not yet spotted any pattern on this and in most cases bigger packets 
with MTU around 1600 bytes gets through without an issue.

 

I can add that in the other direction in the normal request routes we don’t 
have any issue at all can have packets > 2000 bytes without any issues.

Does Opensips use IP_MTU_DISCOVER or how is fragmentation controlled and is it 
expected to have different behavior in reply routes vs other routes?

We use Centos 7 in a virtual server environment.

 

I was hoping someone can share some light on this strange issue.
