The selected instance authenticates the subscriber, looks for the callee using the REGISTRAR module, adds a Record-Route header, adds a Route header according to the Path header associated with the callee, and forwards the INVITE to the load balancer. The load balancer performs loose routing (removing the Route header), adds another Record-Route header, and forwards the INVITE to the callee using the right transport address (indicated by the received parameter present in the Route header). The flow is right for the INVITE and its replies. However, when the caller sends the ACK, the route set is: load balancer, proxy, load balancer – without any information about how to reach the callee. Therefore, when the ACK reaches the "second" load balancer, the latter forwards it according to the RURI which is the Contact URI present in the 200 OK (which is not routable because of the NAT). I expected Kamailio to reuse the information that was present in the Path header to route the ACK correctly.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>What am I doing wrong?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Mickael<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
