An unexpected RTCP expectation clash happens in the following scenario. | INVITE SDP (g711A g739 telephone-event) | 5060 |<--------------------------------------------------|5060 | 100 Trying | 5060 |-------------------------------------------------->|5060 S | 183 Session Progress SDP (g711A telephone-event) | 5060 |-------------------------------------------------->|5060 E | PRACK | C 50601 |<--------------------------------------------------|5060 R | 200 OK (PRACK) | P 50601 |-------------------------------------------------->|5060 V | 200 OK (INVITE) | E 5060 |-------------------------------------------------->|5060 E | ACK | 50601 |<--------------------------------------------------|5060 R | | |<------------------ RTP stream ------------------->| | | | INVITE SDP (t38) | 50601 |-------------------------------------------------->|5060 With a certain configuration in the CPE, SIP messages "183 with SDP" and "re-INVITE with SDP t38" in the scenario will trigger the ALG to create expectations for RTP and RTCP. It is okay to create RTP&RTCP expectations for "183", whose master connection source port is 5060, and destination port is 5060. In this "183" message, port in Contact header changes to 50601 (from the original 5060). So the following requests e.g. PRACK are sent to port 50601. It has a different master connection (let call 2nd master connection) from the original INVITE (let call 1st master connection) due to the port difference. When "re-INVITE with SDP t38" arrives to create RTP&RTCP expectations, current ALG implementation will firstly check whether there is a RTP expectation with the same tuples already exists for a different master connection. If yes, it will skip RTP&RTCP expects creation; otherwise it will create a new RTP&RTCP expectation pairs. In the scenario above, there is RTP stream but no RTCP stream for the 1st master connection, so the RTP expectation created upon "183" is cleared, and RTCP expectation created for the 1st master connection retains. Basing on current ALG implementation, it only checks RTP expectation existence but not for RTCP. So when "re-INVITE with SDP t38" arrives, it will continue to create a new RTP&RTCP expectation pairs for the 2nd master connection, which will result in a detection of expectation clash for RTCP (same tuples and different master), and then a failure in processing of that re-INVITE. The fixing here is to check both RTP and RTCP expectation existence before creation. When there is an old expectation with same tuples for a different master, release the old expectation. Then a new one will be created for the current master.
