Static SIP and RTP relay proxy

Introduction

This project sponsored by BluePackets - http://www.bluepackets.com.au

This is a Kamailio configuration that builds up a static SIP and RTP proxy and relays the packets between two IP interfaces on the relay server and two remote SIP servers. It allows to hide the internal network topology and to go around some security or topology restrictions.

The network topology consists of two segments: internal and external. The relay server has IP interfaces in both segments, and forwards SIP messages and RTP data in both directions.

The following IP addresses and ports are used further in this document:

  • Internal SIP server: 10.0.0.10:5060
  • Relay server's interface in internal network: 10.5.5.5:5060
  • Relay server's interface in external network: 192.0.2.5:5060
  • External SIP server: 198.51.100.100:5060

When 10.0.0.10 needs to send a SIP call to 198.51.100.100, it sends it to 10.5.5.5, and when 198.51.100.100 needs to send a call to 10.0.0.10, it sends it to 192.0.2.5. Both SIP servers see the corresponding relay's interface IP address as the source address in received packets. The RTP media is relayed using the same principle.

The configuration is completely symmetrical, but the internal and external addresses should not be mixed up.

Software installation

The following is the installation sequence for Debian Wheezy.

curl http://deb.kamailio.org/kamailiodebkey.gpg | apt-key add -

cat >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/kamailio.list <<EOT
deb http://deb.kamailio.org/kamailio wheezy main
EOT

apt-get update && apt-get install -y kamailio rtpproxy git

cat >/etc/default/kamailio <<'EOT'
# Kamailio startup options
RUN_KAMAILIO=yes
USER=kamailio
GROUP=kamailio
SHM_MEMORY=64
PKG_MEMORY=8
CFGFILE=/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg
DUMP_CORE=yes
EOT

cat >/etc/rsyslog.d/siprelay.conf <<'EOT'
local0.*                        -/var/log/kamailio.log
local1.*                        -/var/log/rtpproxy.log
EOT

service rsyslog restart 

cat >/etc/logrotate.d/siprelay <<'EOT'
/var/log/kamailio.log
/var/log/rtpproxy.log
{
        rotate 4
        weekly

        delaycompress
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
                invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null
        endscript
}

sngrep is a convenient tool for debugging SIP sessions. It requires a wide text terminal with color support (xterm, for example). It is not required, but very handy in troubleshooting and tuning a SIP service:

apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y git autoconf automake gcc make libncurses5-dev \
libpcap-dev libssl-dev libpcre3-dev
cd /usr/local/src
git clone https://github.com/irontec/sngrep.git
cd sngrep/
./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make install

Proxy configuration

All site-specific configuration is done in kamailio_siteconfig.cfg, and this file is ignored by Git. This allows you to keep the Github remote for future updates. You can also create your own branch where kamailio_siteconfig.cfg is excluded from .gitignore, and merge the updates from Github with your branch.

cd /etc/kamailio
/bin/rm *
git clone https://github.com/voxserv/kamailio-static-relay.git .

cat >kamailio_siteconfig.cfg <<'EOT'
#!substdef "/INTERNAL_HOST/10.0.0.10/"
#!substdef "/INTERNAL_PORT/5060/"
#!substdef "/EXTERNAL_HOST/198.51.100.100/"
#!substdef "/EXTERNAL_PORT/5060/"
port=5060
EOT


# -l option specifies the relay NIC addresses, and the order is important:
# internal NIC address should go first. The UDP port range is up to you,
# and it should be consistent with all surrounding firewall configurations

cat >/etc/default/rtpproxy <<'EOT'
CONTROL_SOCK=udp:127.0.0.1:9000
EXTRA_OPTS="-l 10.5.5.5/192.0.2.5 -m 10000 -M 40000 -d WARN:LOG_LOCAL1"
EOT

insserv rtpproxy
service rtpproxy restart

insserv kamailio
service kamailio start
