Am Using Pjsip libraries for SIP implementation . Using Pjsip lib i can able to make IP calls perfectly . My problem is While I Make call if other End User Decline/not Reachable or No answer ,My call will connect with Voice mail and get 200k(call connected state) from sip server as same like other end user Answering call.
Not Reachable Case i can differentiate 200 ok By missing 183 Session Progress Message. But noanswer and decline case I couldn't get the actual State of call .
is any way to find call connected state and Voice mail connected state ?
There isn't any one way of a user agent knowing it has reached a voicemail server versus a person answering.
Usually what will happen is that your user agent will send an INVITE to a From URI, and some proxy responsible for that URI will fork the INVITE to the various user agents the remote party uses: her phone, her voicemail service, and so on. The first user agent to return a 2xx response sets up the call.
You will however always know to which user agent you have connected, in the Contact header of the 200 OK.
Presumably a voicemail server will indicate in its SDP offer/answer that while it accepts certain incoming media streams, it will not send anything, by marking the stream with an a=recvonly attribute (See RFC 3264).

I am currently working on a project that collect a users login and extension information through parsing SIP header messages after capturing packets. I am currently using PCAP.net and SIPSorcery libraries to accomplish this. The project is written in C#
How it works:
By using filters in PCAP.net I can zone in on the SIP related traffic. Each time a packet is captured an event is fired and I check for the packet type e.g. whether it is SIP or something else UDP related such as DNS. If this is a SIP message I parse the header pulling out the information I am interested in
The problem:
Some SIP endpoints generates multiple registration packets which contains the same UID. It is hard to keep track of a single session and when the endpoint is actually finally registered (i.e. receives the 200OK from the SIP Server). I tried using Dictionary with CallID and then checking when a packet is received if it is already in the Dictionary.
The question:
How do I keep track the session so I know when I receive the 200OK for that particular session, it is registered and stream is complete
A SIP endpoint sends a REGISTER request to bind its contact address(es) to an address-of-record. Such a registration is identified by the Call-ID header field.
Keep in mind that multiple REGISTER requests with the same Call-ID value can occur because:
the endpoint will periodically update its registration, since every registration has an expiration interval
a REGISTER request is challenged for authentication and the SIP endpoint sends a new request with authentication information.
retransmissions
Furthermore, a 200 response doesn't mean that the endpoint is registered. You should check the 'expires' header and/or contact parameter to know how long the registration will remain valid.
Call-ID field in the SIP message is used to track a SIP session. Check RFC 3261 to get more details about Call-ID.
Call-IDs act as unique identifier for a SIP session. In your case you can try searching the Call-ID from the SIP-REGISTER message to track the subsequent messages.
"What will happen in SIP if both parties send INVITE to each other at same time"
What will be the behavior in the above case?
Which call will Process?
The received first INV may be proceed to establish the call by the SIP Proxy, whereas the received second INV maybe rejected by a 4xx response. But since SIP is session based it is also possible that the Proxy can establish both calls. But one call should be in hold state. Only one call will ve active.
The most likely behaviour is that the SIP user agents would display a new incoming call.
Since they would also both have an outgoing call in progress it would be up to the user as to whether they would answer the incoming call or ignore it and persist with their original outgoing call.
The crucial point is that the two INVITE requests are independent. It would be the same as if two people called each other on their mobile phones simultaneously.
RFC 3261 section 14.2 says
A UAS that receives an INVITE on a dialog while an INVITE it had sent
on that dialog is in progress MUST return a 491 (Request Pending)
response to the received INVITE.
So, I think both the parties will generate 491 response to each other. But I am still not sure as both of these INVITE will be part of different dialogs and standard mentions on the same dialog.
I have to integrate the text, voice and video chat via SIP server into my application. So that I have chosen the "Peers" from http://peers.sourceforge.net/.
I have downloaded the code, registered a sip addressz(peers sip client) and call to another sip account(peers sip client). I can't receive a call in that peers client. If I call to another sip client(X-Lite), I can able to receive a call.
Can anybody tell me what may be the problem and how to fix?
when you want to call a remote party from peers you should use sip:user#domain.com where domain.com is the domain you used in your account. If you used an ip address in domain in your sip account, you should use the same domain.
Working on a SIP application that requires monitoring call activity/state on a phone. My app (UA) is registered with a proxy server, as is the phone being monitored. I am making use of SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY messages to tell the phone that I want to know about its "dialog" events, and once subscribed, this works fine. I am running into two problems:
I am requesting a subscription length of 900 seconds and consistently getting some absurd amount of 4000+ seconds returned from the phone.
There is the possibility that the phone may be unplugged while the subscription is active (don't ask, but, yes, this is a possibility). When this happens, I am not getting any type of notification as to the phone no longer being available. Consequently, I have to wait for my subscription to time out, try and renew it, handle the failure, and create a new subscription.
I realize that I can renew my subscription sooner than its expiration time, but is there a better way to go about it? For example, would I be able to get "presence" events and use them to know when the phone is there or not? Are those events always guaranteed to happen on phone start-up, and even so, since there is a proxy in the middle, would I even get the notifications, or would I still not know that the phone restarted and no longer recognizes my subscription(s)? Are these "presence" updates something that I can request from the proxy?
Any insight would be great; for the moment, I'm going to simply try and refresh my subscription on a much smaller interval, but I would love to know if there is a better way to go about it. Thanks in advance.
I don't know about a SIP agnostic way other than perhaps somehow pinging the phone but there is definitely a SIP way to do presence and that's using the same subscribe/notify model you are using for dialogs but in this case for presence. The relevant standard is RFC 3856 A Presence Event Package for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
Typically the presence notifications would be generated by a SIP registrar, and since you say your phone is registering with your proxy it must also have a registrar built in. The registrar would notify your UA when the other phone's registration status changes such as when it first came online or when it failed to re-register. As far as the delay between a phone "disappearing" and the registrar server detecting it there's no prescribed way to do it. You can either wait for the registration period to expire and mark the phone as offline when it fails to register or alternatively the server could actively send a packet or even a SIP request such as an OPTIONS request to the phone and mark it as offline if it got a failure response, Asterisk uses te latter approach.
When a SIP UAC client registers with a SIP UAS Registrar, the SIP client provides a Expiry Header, which indicates that maximum amount of time after which a SIP client needs to re-register itself. If the SIP client does not re-register itself in this time period, then Sip UAS proxy/registrar server will mark the client as disconnected.
Proprietary SIP packages like FreePBX and Asterisk, proactively, send SIP OPTIONS to the client, continuously, at some interval, wherein the client responds with OK. This is a more proactive way of validating if SIP clients are online; however, this technique is proprietary and not part of the actual SIP specification.
I don't know enough about SIP. As far as I know SIP can not be used in LAN. But it's features are very good. I want to use it for a LAN messenger (with video conference facilities).
Is there any way of using SIP in LAN network ?
The SIP protocol can be used over any reliable transport (TCP, XMPP, instant messaging channel, etc...) to a service (e.g. a server such as a SIP proxy) that knows how to route the SIP INVITE message from the caller to the callee. e.g. If you send an INVITE to bob#foobar.com, there's needs to be a service that knows how to find "bob" and deliver the message. Likewise, when Bob sends back his response messages back, the messages need to route back to the caller who sent the original INVITE.
And you can do SIP without a server - provided the computer already have a connection (direct or indirect) to the other computer intended for the call.
But SIP isn't anything special. If you were to invent your own video conferencing protocol, it would probably look a lot like SIP. SIP's primary job is for both sides of a call to exchange IP/port candidates for connecting directly in addition to codec and bandwidth negotiation data.
After the SIP messages are exchanged, ICE/STUN/TURN take over and RTP packets typically flow. SIP isn't used in the call except to end the call.
What are you really trying to do anyway?
Thread is Old but still I would like to contribute to this. There are various SIP server like http://www.officesip.com/index.html which works in LAN and can be connected to hardware phone too and soft client also.
Jitsi is open source cross platform SIP/xmpp client:https://jitsi.org/
And if you want to XMPP server Openfire is the best:http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/
I hope this will definitely help someone..!
