[Spce-user] SIP 200 packets rejected on trunk

[John Murray]

Hi,

I've heard this kind of response also from PSTN providers.
It usually goes with 'I've heard that Record-Route headers are a security risk'. Same people who turn off ICMP reply and TTL timeout responses which also MUST be sent.
It's standard FUD from the low end security people who end up breaking things.

I know this doesn't help, but you're not alone :-)

Regards

John

Andreas is 100% right. Please ask them an explanation regarding why you should remove your record-route headers. Maybe what they don't like is having "127.0.0.1" in the rr header (which is 100% valid).

I can't believe that a sbc can't hable rr headers.


btw, I agree with Andreas, you'd better change your provider. But I'd like to know what their explanation is first.


cheers,

Jon
