[Freeswitch-users] SSL implementation in FreeSWITCH

[Ken Rice]

The particular message on the polycom boards only References FreeSWITCH 1.2... there have been significant changes from that point... without getting decoded packet captures theres really not much to see here.

TCP handles the packet fragmentation as should TLS... this is transport protocol later stuff... this is not something FreeSWITCH would really be involved in at that point...

The other thing that might prove useful is isolating this on an idle machine, with 1 phone enabling all the good SIP and libsofia debugging and getting it into a long along with the logs from the client so it can be compared to see whats going on...

Further discussion of this should be taken to jira so that it can be tracked and captures and logging can be attached to the ticket

Hi there,
I am using TLS over TCP for sure. I spent a significant amount of time inspecting this and UDP is only used for the RTP stream.
People have reported issues with Polycom phones where the TLS thread crashes when the SDP is overloaded. 
http://community.polycom.com/t5/VoIP/IP550-Loses-Registration-as-soon-as-I-try-to-make-a-call/td-p/21372
This is not just a Polycom issue, and doesn’t seem to be happening with other SIP servers.
Many times, because the client doesn’t get a response, it sends the packets over and over and eventually times out.
I doubt that the same SIP stack is used across Polycom, Yealink, Counterpath Bria, Blink Pro, etc… I will put together a PCAP of the session in TCP since I can’t share the private key of the SSL certificate.
Is someone willing to provide me with a SIP account where I can test TLS connections with SRTP enabled? An Echo test is enough.

Thanks

If getting to the bottom of this is of interest to any of you, I’d obviously be keen on handing out a couple of accounts.
