Hi all,

I am new in the FreeSWITCH world and I am not been able to discover how FS can acts as a pure SIP forwarder, sorry. My problem is that I need a kind of B2BUA "in the middle" of the signaling path between my SIP phones and my SIP Proxy. The purpose of this is to get additional features in my VoIP system like CAC, MoH, etc, etc. The first problem I get is I need to forward all REGISTER methods: PHONE -> FS -> SIP PROXY, but WITHOUT changing the Contact header field just adding a Via.

I started with Asterisk due to I have quite experience with it but Asterisk is not able unless you hack chan_sip. FS claims to be a softswitch with SIP router capabilities so, it should be able to do that task. At this stage I am quite confused about the configuration of FS as a SIP proxy and today, I am not completely sure if that is possible to do with FS. Could anyone help me? Is that possible? If that is the case, how could I do it?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your answers. In fact I am using Kamailio as SIP proxy, but some additional functionality is needed that Kamailio cannot afford. I need a B2BUA in the middle of the signaling between phones and Kamailio to get track of dialogs and to interfere on them when neccessary. For that reason I need FS to receive REGISTER messages and to forward them to Kamailio just adding a Via record. From your answers I conclude that FS cannot forward those REGISTER methods, don't I?

Again, thanks for your answers. I will try to investigate a lot more about FS and its capabilities.
Regards.

FreeSWITCH claims to be a switch. Hence the name Free SWITCH. Proxy is an entirely different class of software. Have you seen kamailio http://www.kamailio.org/

The list of things FS can do are more or less listed here:

correct, we do not proxy register requests.

Thanks, that is the solution I am working on now... and the one I wanted to avoid..... At the moment, I am doing this with kamailio and asterisk. As far as I get deep knowledge on FS I will replace Asterisk.

Regards.
