olecoot Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'm seeing this in several of our servers and I'm not quite sure why the address change. Version 2.1.6.2450 (Win32). [3] 2008/04/18 12:02:52: Source address for sip:1206@domain.com has changed to udp:xx.xxx.xx.xxx:23943 [3] 2008/04/18 12:04:01: Source address for sip:1207@domain.com has changed to udp:xx.xxx.xx.xxx:23953 [3] 2008/04/18 12:04:22: Source address for sip:1206@domain.com has changed to udp:xx.xxx.xx.xxx:23955 [3] 2008/04/18 12:05:31: Source address for sip:1207@domain.com has changed to udp:xx.xxx.xx.xxx:23963 [3] 2008/04/18 12:05:48: Source address for sip:1206@domain.com has changed to udp:xx.xxx.xx.xxx:23965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 This is a serious message because the NAT router is not really ready for VoIP. There are some routers on the market that change the port during re-registration, leaving a blind spot for the reachability for the registered device. In the above case, the registration changes every 90 seconds - don't be surprised if calling that phone will result in random call drops.

We have not seen this message in previous versions of pbxnsip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Can you define what "not ready for VoIP" means? We have not seen this message in previous versions of pbxnsip. Well if the router creates a NAT binding, it is supposed to keep that binding when there is traffic on that binding. When it drops the binding, and during that time the PBX sends a request to the old binding port, the request will not be forwarded to the phone. This creates a blind spot. We have seen routers that have exactly 32 entries for NAT. If you open the binding 33, then it just drops binding 1. This especially happens when a PC behind that router does some kind of activity, practically kicking out SIP during that time. If you see the log message in the PBX, you should check if the router is responsible for that. If you have several routers in operation, it should be easy to check the model and maybe easy to isolate the router that is causing this kind of problem. The ugly thing is that is works fine most of the time and it is extremly difficult to find out why devices are offline from time to time. That is why we put that log in. BTW The same applies to changing IP addresses. Service providers in Asia now start to change/recycle IP addresses every 4 (four!) hours because if the address shortages there. I think everybody understands that this is not increasing the registration stability. Bye bye, NAT. Here you go, IPv6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
