Joshua Colp commented on ASTERISK-26430:
----------------------------------------

I also think the sip.conf would be useful here. For example: are you using "udpbinaddr=::"?

> When trying to utilize res_hep, while the server has an IPv6 IP address defined, the HEP report will fail, notifying the console:
> [Oct  1 13:56:37] NOTICE[14719]: res_hep.c:466 hep_queue_cb: Unable to send packet: Address Family mismatch between source/destination
> Additional information:
> In order to investigate, I've added a couple of ast_log entries, in order to ascertain the actual discrepancy. The following is observed when the issue arises:
> {noformat}
> [Oct  1 13:56:37] NOTICE[14719]: netsock2.c:472 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address family is: 2
> [Oct  1 13:56:37] NOTICE[14719]: netsock2.c:473 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address family should be: 2

> [Oct  1 13:56:37] NOTICE[14719]: netsock2.c:474 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address length is: 28
> [Oct  1 13:56:37] NOTICE[14719]: netsock2.c:475 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address length should be: 16
> [Oct  1 13:56:37] NOTICE[14719]: res_hep.c:468 hep_queue_cb: To server: 0
> {noformat}
> The above was generated using:

> int ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4(const struct ast_sockaddr *addr)
> {
>         ast_log(AST_LOG_NOTICE, "My address family is: %d\n", addr->ss.ss_family);
>         ast_log(AST_LOG_NOTICE, "My address family should be: %d\n", AF_INET);
>         ast_log(AST_LOG_NOTICE, "My address length is: %d\n", addr->len);
>         ast_log(AST_LOG_NOTICE, "My address length should be: %u\n", sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
>         return addr->ss.ss_family == AF_INET &&
>             addr->len == sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
> }
> {code}
> Now, if I disable IPv6 on the machine, using the following:
> {noformat}
> sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
> sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
> {noformat}
> Now, the Asterisk output is as following:
> {noformat}
> [Oct  1 14:07:25] NOTICE[14975]: netsock2.c:472 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address family is: 2
> [Oct  1 14:07:25] NOTICE[14975]: netsock2.c:473 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address family should be: 2
> [Oct  1 14:07:25] NOTICE[14975]: netsock2.c:474 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address length is: 16
> [Oct  1 14:07:25] NOTICE[14975]: netsock2.c:475 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address length should be: 16
> [Oct  1 14:07:25] NOTICE[14975]: netsock2.c:472 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address family is: 2
> [Oct  1 14:07:25] NOTICE[14975]: netsock2.c:473 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address family should be: 2
> [Oct  1 14:07:25] NOTICE[14975]: netsock2.c:474 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address length is: 16
> [Oct  1 14:07:25] NOTICE[14975]: netsock2.c:475 ast_sockaddr_is_ipv4: My address length should be: 16
> {noformat}
> So, this is somewhat of an issue, as most cloud providers these day will enable by-default IPv6 addressing on the servers, making the module unusable till it's disabled - which is somewhat counter productive.
> In order to validate potential configuration issues, I've tried changing my HEP server from IP:PORT combo, to only IP address - that caused Asterisk to go completely nuts. Recommendation, separate host ip and port to two separate configuration items, to avoid confusion.
