APAR status

  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • This APAR addresses a new feature added to Websphere Application
    Server, to support the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
    "outbound" protocol extension, as described in RFC 5626.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) users     *
    *                  of IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.0    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Connectivity issues against clients     *
    *                      that reside behind a Network Address    *
    *                      Translator or a firewall.               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Some connectivity problems in SIP relate to clients that
    reside behind a NAT (Network Address Translator) or a
    firewall. Typically, such networks allow clients to send
    messages to the server, but prevent the server from sending
    messages back to the client. These problems, and their
    standardized solutions, are described in RFC 3581 - "An
    Extension to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for
    Symmetric Response Routing", and RFC 5626 - "Managing
    Client-Initiated Connections in the Session Initiation
    Protocol (SIP)".
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problem is fixed by implementing RFC 5626 ("outbound") and
    RFC 3581 ("rport"). With this new feature, the SIP (Session
    Initiation Protocol) container supports the "outbound" and
    "rport" protocol extensions at the server side. Clients that
    reside behind a NAT (Network Address Translator) or a
    firewall, will be able to traverse the firewall and
    communicate with the server, by implementing the same protocol
    extensions at the client side.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.15.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
