[OpenSIPS-Users] Load balancer behind NAT

[Muhammad Shahzad Shafi]

I think your opensips would have two interfaces, one for public ip, 
from where the client request comes in and one on private ip to send 
call to FS.

Now, since call is come to FS from local LAN (private ip of opensips), 
therefore, it will most likely won't any NAT adjustments for it, 
resulting in media flow failure. So,

1. Is this assumption correct or your architecture is more complex then 
this?
2. How does FS connects to internet, does you have different gateway to 
internet for FS compare to opensips?


If any or both question is yes, then you can either,

1. Try using ext-rtp-ip parameter in sofia profile,

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Sofia.conf.xml#ext-rtp-ip

2. You can also change rtp ip in sdp on opensips using fix_nated_sdp 
method.

3. If your internet gateway is running fairly recent version of linux 
kernel >= 3.x then loading sip nat kernel module will also do the trick, 
(but its not guaranteed to work in all distros, i can only confirm it in 
ubuntu 12.x+ and debian 7.x+).

modprobe -r ip_nat_sip
modprobe -r ip_conntrack_sip

4. Install rtpproxy and enable it in opensips in bridged mode.


For solution 1 - 3, port forwarding must be enabled on your FS's 
internet gateway.

Thank you.
