[OpenSIPS-Users] reply_to_via and topmost Via addressing

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi John,

Thanks for pointing out the outdated param, I just removed it from the 
online docs.

In terms of reply routing, everything is encapsulated in the TM module - 
the replies inside a transaction are all the time routed back 
automatically to the source IP and port of the request - this applies 
for both types of replies sent out by opensips - internally generated or 
proxied.

Now, about the "received" / "port" - indeed, these params are added to 
the top received VIA hdr if rport is needed (forced or received as empty 
param) or if there are differences between the adv VIA IP and the src IP 
form network level.
The only control you have is to force it, indirectly by doing force_rport().

Regards,

Bogdan-Andrei Iancu
