Hi, Rodrigo!

Having OpenSIPS opening TCP connections towards client is a bit 
dangerous, especially if the clients are behind NAT. That's because most 
likely you will not be able to reach them, and opensips will get stuck 
trying to connect (until it triggers a timeout). That's why the best way 
to go is to try to keep the connection (ideally opened by the client at 
REGISTER) as much as possible. This is usually done by pinging (as 
discussed in a previous email). So my suggestion is to try to avoid 
opening new TCP connections with clients, unless you really know they 
will always be reachable.

The behavior you are describing (INVITE vs BYE handling), might be 
related to the fact that you are setting the tcp_no_new_conn_bflag[1] 
flag for BYE messages, but not for INVITEs. Is this correct? If not, do 
you see any errors in the script?
