> Hi,
> I have a development Asterisk 13.15.0 test setup (uses the bundled pjsip-2.6).
> On startup Asterisk registers 1 Asterisk users with a remote OpenSIPS server, over TLS, using the PJSIP stack. As part of the test this Asterisk PJSIP user is reregistered with OpenSIPS Server every couple of mins.
> All outgoing/incoming pjsip call media is encrypted using SRTP and via an external RTPPROXY running alongside the external OpenSIPS Server.
> Asterisk is additionally configured to use PJSIP on 127.0.0.1:5060 to allow calls from a locally run SIPp process. All SIPp calls are TCP+RTP.
> I use SIPp to run multiple concurrent loopback calls (calls vary in duration) through Asterisk to the OpenSIPS server and back to an echo() service running on the same Asterisk).
> i.e.
> {noformat}
>   SIPp <-TCP/RTP-> Asterisk <-TLS/SRTP-> OpenSIPS server (+ rtpproxy) <-TLS/SRTP-> Asterisk (echo service).
> {noformat}
> With no calls running the PJSIP TLS connection stays up and I see it reregistering the user every ~2mins.
> When I start to run the SIPp test I start seeing the PJSIP stack having TLS issues - closing the current port as a result, in this state outgoing SIPp calls obviously start failing.  A few seconds later Asterisk (PJSIP) opens a new port, reregistering with the OpenSIPS server, and the calls continue. With SIPp running the connection is being reestablished every ~10-20 minutes due to TLS issues.
> If I switch Asterisk to use the chan_sip stack rather than the PJSIP stack for the TLS connection to the OpenSIPS server the connection stays up with no call failures.
> I patched a couple of PJSIP files to help me see what's going on and I have played with the PJSIP TLS code. I can improve the reliability of the connection by ignoring a specific OpenSSL error condition (see the code within #if EXPERIMENTAL...#endif in the attached patch). In the original code this error causes of >90% of the connection failures I see. With this mod in place the TLS connection stays up for hours rather than minutes at a time, on the same outgoing port, and calls work fine. I doubt this mod is the proper fix though.
