sip debug of failed call attempt

Not a bug.  Asterisk doesn't claim to support this.

The remote device seems to be making conflicting bids for the same port number, with and without encryption.  It could never hope to have both of them succeed.

The correct way of doing this would seem to be RFC5939, but I don't think Asterisk supports that either.

Thanks for the fast reply.
I have no idea, it the implementation to offer either an encrypted OR an unencrypted audio stream is correct. It used to work so far.
But changing 'user_savp' from 'optional' to 'mandatory' on the phone fixed the issue.
Thanks again

If this used to work, it should continue to work.

Earlier versions didn't have a specific check for multiple audio streams, so would simply have mis-parsed the SDP.

On a quick skim, it looks to me as though 1.6.1.0 would have used the last found audio stream, although it might have mixed in attributes from earlier ones as well.

1.6.1.0 does actually check for too many streams, but the test only works if you have four or more streams, as it is assuming that the first three will be: first audio; video; and text streams.

Birger, that SDP is odd.  Is this snom's way of doing some sort of best effort SRTP?  The way it is being done is completely insecure.  Is it possible to get the snom to do SRTP without sending out the offer for the unencrypted stream?

By: Birger "WIMPy" Harzenetter (wimpy) 2011-11-14 11:54:45.060-0600

Yes. That's a best effort setting.
I used that when I started testing SRTP so I only had to change Asterisks configuration.
And yes again it's possible to use only one offer. That's how I fixed it as per my first comment.

So it seems to come down to a simple Don't use that setting any more.

setting RTP/SAVP to mandatory also fixes ASTERISK-18749

By: Matt Jordan (mjordan) 2011-11-16 15:21:11.587-0600

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue, as a workaround is available to resolve the SRTP settings on the snom phone.

At this point in time, Asterisk does not support the concept of multiple streams of the same type.  Doing so would be a useful enhancement, but would be a new feature request for Asterisk.  If you'd like to discuss having this feature added, the proper forum would be a discussion on the Asterisk mailing lists [1] and IRC channels.
