[Freeswitch-users] Issue with changing phone SIP port

[Oleg Stolyar]

Hi guys,

I ran into the following problem recently:

Using a softphone from a computer behind a NAT I register it with
FreeSWITCH.
It registers with a certain port in the Contact header.  FreeSWITCH stores
this port in the user's registration info and uses it from then on to send
messages to the phone.

However, for some reason FreeSWITCH initially sends back an "Unauthorized"
response.  After that some phones seem to send REGISTER again but with
a*different port
*.
This only happen if the phone is behind a NAT.  If FreeSWITCH is on the
same network as the phone, the phone keeps the same port.

FreeSWITCH ignores that and keeps trying to contact the phone on the old
port and of course fails.

Only some phones seem to change their port after registration.  They
include 3CXPhone, X-Lite.
Phones that don't do this are MicroSIP and Mizu.

I have a wireshark capture file of the session from the softphone machine
if anyone would like, I'll be happy to email it or publish it.

So, I have three questions:
1. Why does FreeSWITCH initially send "Unauthorized" reply?
2. Does anyone know why some phones change their port during registration
from behind a NAT?
3. Should I file a Jira ticket to have FreeSWITCH change UA's registered
contact info when the UA sends a message with a different Contact header?


Thank you
*Oleg*
