Opened: Aug 22, 2013

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

A pool member's response back to a client via an existing connection flow (connflow) ends up using the existing client-side connflow.

Impact

Violation of the SIP RFC 3261, in routing the responses, actual client may not receive the response.

Conditions

Proxying a pool member's response back to a client via an existing connflow.

Workaround

Send response to the same client that initiated the request with the same port.

Fix Information

Response routing is possible now based on topmost Via header information, if the existing client-side connflow does not exist or honor-via config option is enabled in sipsession profile in MR framework.
