[OpenSIPS-Users] Topology hiding for presence: NOTIFY/Subscription refresh not successfully matching topology hiding

[Govindaraj, Rajesh]

Hi,

I am facing issues with topology hiding implementation for presence which was necessitated as existing TCP connections have to be used at Presence server and couldn't achieve this with record route routing and having original contact of application server.
Thanks for all your time and help. I am sure I am missing something small but I spent hours searching and reading up on Internet and would solicit your expertise to resolve this.

Objective: TCP transport for presence.

Topology:   opensips presence server <----> opensips proxy <----> IPC's Application Server.

Approach:

Case i: Without topology hiding and using record route:

In this case opensips proxy was adding two record route one for itself with sip:<ip>;transport=tcp<sip:%3cip%3e;transport=tcp> and via header carried rport. Opensips presence server while sending NOTIFY was throwing as TCP error,
Read through forum and understood that initial tcp request has to be re-used. Studied if alias can be used and also experimented with force_tcp_alias, but no luck.

Case ii: With topology hiding, no record route, use new contact:

With this approach able to get back initial NOTIFY
NOTIFY sip:172.29.109.119:40968;transport=tcp;thinfo=VG8tbzAdIFskPyccJRwmBhBQY31mX2RBckxiT2FkblpgWnpPJBMyPScfPx03SSUFI2gjAyMcIB00XGVmZltjCXVBMwdlaCcGIA4zBCMEICA9AD4GJ0kxESN+YxUjAC8aYlEiJTMcaxgvByMHMDowUiMGM1lhFzlqOx4qBjQXaAs+RVQaNB95RWBPYWNgQWFXcVpiVmlmZFlg SIP/2.0
With thinfo in request URI. Contact header of opensips sip server is present.

Now as per docs, tried to do topology_hiding_match by calling topology_hiding_match(), get this response,

DID NOT found,

I tried to add DID_NONE but don't see any log in the syslog.

The NOTIFY with contact header of opensip sip server is sent to Application Server. Record_route is called on this NOTIFY and record route is added without DID param.

When the subscription response comes back, the sample request below,(having the contact of opensips presence server no thinfo from 200ok for subscribe) the topology_hiding_match fails and the request does not go out.
I tried to load dialog module, call create_dialog but I understand that for subscribe the dialog would not be created. Please correct me if I am wrong. I also read about route header being used in opensips 2.1 per this thread,
https://opensips.org/pipermail/users/2017-December/038606.html but this is not being used in opensips version 2.4.7.

Not sure what am I missing. Please advise.
