<section id="RR-dialog-id">
<title>Dialog support</title>
<para>&kamailio; is basically <emphasis>only</emphasis> a transaction
statefull proxy, without any dialog support build in. There are many
features/services which actually requires a dialog awareness, like storing
the information in the dialog creation stage, information which will be
used during the whole dialog existence.</para>
<para>The most urging example is NAT traversal, in dealing with the within
the dialog INVITEs (re-INVITEs). When processing the initial INVITE, the
proxy detects if the caller or callee is behind some NAT and fixes the
signalling and media parts - since not all the detection mechanism are
available for within the dialog requests (like usrloc), to be able to fix
correspondingly the sequential requests, the proxy must remember that the
original request was NAT processed. There are many other cases where
dialog awareness fixes or helps.</para>
<para>The solution is to store additional dialog-related information in
the routing set (Record-Route/Route headers), headers which show up in all
sequential requests. So any information added to the Record-Route header
will be found (with no direction dependencies) in Route header
(corresponding to the proxy address).</para>
<para>As storage container, the parameters of the Record-Route / Route
header will be used - Record-Route parameters mirroring are reinforced by
RFC 3261 (see 12.1.1 UAS behavior).</para>
<para>For this purpose, the modules offers the following functions:</para>

<title>Parameters</title>
<section>
<title><varname>enable_full_lr</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>If set to 1 then <quote>;lr=on</quote> instead of just
<quote>;lr</quote> will be used. This is to overcome problems with
broken &ua;s which strip <quote>;lr</quote> parameter when generating
Route header fields from Record-Route (<quote>;lr=on</quote> seems to
help).</para>
<para><emphasis> Default value is 0 (no). </emphasis></para>
<example>
<title>Set <varname>enable_full_lr</varname> parameter</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
modparam("rr", "enable_full_lr", 1)
...
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section id="append-fromtag-id">
<title><varname>append_fromtag</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>If turned on, request's from-tag is appended to record-route;
that's useful for understanding whether subsequent requests (such as
BYE) come from caller (route's from-tag==BYE's from-tag) or callee
(route's from-tag==BYE's to-tag)</para>
<para><emphasis> Default value is 1 (yes). </emphasis></para>
<example>
<title>Set <varname>append_fromtag</varname> parameter</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
modparam("rr", "append_fromtag", 0)
...
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section>
<title><varname>enable_double_rr</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>There are some situations when the server needs to insert two
Record-Route header fields instead of one. For example when using two
disconnected networks or doing cross-protocol forwarding from
UDP-&gt;TCP. This parameter enables inserting of 2 Record-Routes. The
server will later remove both of them.</para>
<para>Double record-routing does not occur when outbound is used for a
request.</para>
<para><emphasis> Default value is 1 (yes). </emphasis></para>
<example>
<title>Set <varname>enable_double_rr</varname> parameter</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
modparam("rr", "enable_double_rr", 0)
...
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section>
<title><varname>add_username</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>If set to a non 0 value (which means yes), the username part will
be also added in the Record-Route URI.</para>
<para>This option cannot be set when the <quote>outbound</quote> module
is loaded before this module as outbound uses the username part of
Record-Route URIs to store flow-tokens.</para>
<para><emphasis> Default value is 0 (no). </emphasis></para>
<example>
<title>Set <varname>add_username</varname> parameter</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
modparam("rr", "add_username", 1)
...
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section>
<title><varname>enable_socket_mismatch_warning</varname>
(integer)</title>
<para>When a preset record-route header is forced in &kamailio; config
and the host from the record-route header is not the same as the host
server, a warning will be printed out in the logs. The
'enable_socket_mismatch_warning' parameter enables or disables the
warning. When &kamailio; is behind a NATed firewall, we don't want this
warning to be printed for every bridged call.</para>
<para><emphasis> Default value is 1 (yes). </emphasis></para>
<example>
<title><varname>enable_socket_mismatch_warning</varname> usage</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">

</example>
</section>
<section>
<title><varname>custom_user_avp</varname> (avp string)</title>
<para>When enable_username is enabled, a call to record_route will add
the username of the RequestURI to the Record-Route URI. This parameter
allows you to setup an AVP with which you can customise the username to
be added in the Record-Route URI.</para>
<para><emphasis> Default value: if not set, the std add_username
behaviour is used - i.e. Request URI username. </emphasis></para>
<example>
<title><varname>custom_user_avp</varname> usage</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...

<title>Functions</title>
<section id="loose-route-id">
<title><function moreinfo="none">loose_route()</function></title>
<para>The function performs routing of SIP requests which contain a
route set. The name is a little bit confusing, as this function also
routes requests which are in the <quote>strict router</quote>
format.</para>
<para>This function is usually used to route in-dialog requests (like
ACK, BYE, reINVITE). Nevertheless also out-of-dialog requests can have a
<quote>pre-loaded route set</quote> and my be routed with loose_route.
It also takes care of translating between strict-routers and
loose-router.</para>
<para>The loose_route function analyzes the Route: headers in the
requests. If there is no Route: header, the function returns FALSE and
routing should be done with normal lookup functions. If a Route: header
is found, the function returns 1 and behaves as described in section
16.12 of RFC 3261. There is only one exception: If the request is
out-of-dialog (no to-tag) and there is only one Route: header indicating
the local proxy, then the Route: header is removed and the function
returns FALSE.</para>
<para>When the <quote>outbound</quote> module was loaded before this
module and the Route: header contains a username part this function will
attempt to use the username part as a flow-token for routing.</para>
<para>Make sure your loose_routing function can't be used by attackers
to bypass proxy authorization.</para>
<para>The loose_routing topic is very complex. See the RFC3261 for more
details (grep for <quote>route set</quote> is a good starting point in
this comprehensive RFC).</para>
