Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

The B2BUA implementation in OpenSIPS is separated in two layers:

  • a lower one (implemented in the b2b_entities module) - the basic functions of a UAS and UAC

  • an upper one (implemented in b2b_logic module) - which represents the logic engine of B2BUA, responsible of actually implementing the B2BUA services using the functions offered by the low level.

This module is a B2BUA upper level implementation that can be used along with the b2b_entities module in order to provide various B2BUA services (eg. PBX features). The actual logic of the B2BUA scenarios can be implemented in dedicated script routes.

A B2B session can be triggered in two ways:

  • from the script - at the receipt of an initial INVITE message
  • with an extern command (MI) command - the server will connect two end points in a session(Third Party Call Control).

High Availability for B2B sessions can be achieved by enabling the clustering support offered by the the lower b2b_entities module (by setting the cluster_id modparam from b2b_entities).

1.2. Scenario Logic

After initializing a B2B session, the call legs will be handled by the b2b_logic module and the first step will be to put the two initial entities in contact. Requests and replies belonging to these dialogs will not enter the script through the standard OpenSIPS routes but instead will be handled in b2b_logic dedicated routes (defined through the script_req_route and script_reply_route modparams or, the custom routes given as parameters to b2b_init_request()). The further steps of the scenario can be implemented in these routes, by calling dedicated b2b_logic script functions in order to perform various actions. Normal "proxy-like" OpenSIPS functions should not be executed in the b2b_logic routes.

Some messages will be handled automatically by the module and will not enter the b2b_logic routes at all (BYE requests received while in the process of bridging two entities, ACKs/BYEs/replies for disconnected entities). Also, if no dedicated b2b_logic reply route is defined, replies will be handled internally by the module, with the same effects as calling b2b_handle_reply() from such a route if it were defined.

1.3. Dependencies

1.3.1. OpenSIPS Modules

  • b2b_entities, a db module

1.3.2. External Libraries or Applications

No libraries or applications required before running OpenSIPS with this module.

1.4. Exported Parameters

1.4.1. hash_size (int)

The size of the hash table that stores the session entities.

Default value is 9 (512 records).

Example 1.1. Set server_hsize parameter

...
modparam("b2b_logic", "hash_size", 10)
...
	

1.4.2. script_req_route (str)

The name of the script route to be called when requests belonging to an ongoing B2B session are received.

Example 1.2. Set script_req_route parameter

...
modparam("b2b_logic", "script_req_route", "b2b_request")
...
	

1.4.3. script_reply_route (str)

The name of the script route to be called when replies belonging to an ongoing B2B session are received.

Example 1.3. Set script_repl_route parameter

...
modparam("b2b_logic", "script_reply_route", "b2b_reply")
...
	

1.4.4. cleanup_period (int)

The time interval at which to search for an hanged b2b context. A session is considered expired if the duration of a session exceeds its defined lifetime. At that moment, BYE is sent in all the dialogs from that context and the context is deleted.

Default value is 100.

Example 1.4. Set cleanup_period parameter

...
modparam("b2b_logic", "cleanup_period", 60)
...
	

1.4.5. custom_headers_regexp (str)

Regexp to search SIP header by names that should be passed from the dialog of one side to the other side. There are a number of headers that are passed by default. They are:

  • Max-Forwards (it is decreased by 1)
  • Content-Type
  • Supported
  • Allow
  • Proxy-Require
  • Session-Expires
  • Min-SE
  • Require
  • RSeq

If you wish some other headers to be passed also you should define them by setting this parameter.

It can be in forms like "regexp", "/regexp/" and "/regexp/flags".

Meaning of the flags is as follows:

  • i - Case insensitive search.

  • e - Use extended regexp.

Default value is NULL.

Example 1.5. Set parameter

...
modparam("b2b_logic", "custom_headers_regexp", "/^x-/i")
...
	

1.4.6. custom_headers (str)

A list of SIP header names delimited by ';' that should be passed from the dialog of one side to the other side. There are a number of headers that are passed by default. They are:

  • Max-Forwards (it is decreased by 1)
  • Content-Type
  • Supported
  • Allow
  • Proxy-Require
  • Session-Expires
  • Min-SE
  • Require
  • RSeq

If you wish some other headers to be passed also you should define them by setting this parameter.

Default value is NULL.

Example 1.6. Set parameter

...
modparam("b2b_logic", "custom_headers", "User-Agent;Date")
...
	

1.4.7. use_init_sdp (int)

This parameter modifies the behaviour of the B2BUA when bridging and a provisional media uri is set. For playing media while the callee answers (that is connecting the caller to a media server), the bridging with the callee must start by sending an Invite to it. The correct way is to send an Invite without a body in this case, but it has been observed that not many gateways support this. So, the solution is to use the sdp received in the first Invite from the caller and put it as the body for this invite. By setting this parameter, this behavior is enabled. You can also set use_init_sdp per session and overwrite this global value.

Default value is 0.

Example 1.7. Set parameter

...
modparam("b2b_logic", "use_init_sdp", 1)
...
	

1.4.8. db_url (str)

Database URL.

Example 1.8. Set db_url parameter

	$var(b2bl_from) = "\"Call ID\" <sip:user@opensips.org>";
	...
	b2b_init_request("top hiding");
	...
}
	

1.4.15. server_address (str)

The IP address of the machine that will be used as Contact in the generated messages. This is compulsory only when OpenSIPS starts a call from the middle. For scenarios triggered by received calls, if it is not set, it is constructed dynamically from the socket where the initiating request was received. This socket will be used to send all the requests, replies for that session. This parameter support Pseudo-Variables.

Example 1.15. Set server_address parameter

...
modparam("b2b_logic", "server_address", "sip:sa@10.10.10.10:5060")

1.5. Exported Functions

1.5.1.  b2b_init_request(id, [flags], [req_route], [reply_route], [init_sdp_body], [init_sdp_ctype])

This function initializes a new B2B session based on an initial INVITE. A new server entity and a new client entity must be created before running this function, with b2b_server_new() and b2b_client_new(), respectively. These are the initial entities to be connected and further scenario logic can be implemented in the b2b_logic dedicated routes.

Parameters:

  • scenario_id (string) - identifier for the scenario of this B2B session. The special value top hiding initializes an internal topology hiding scenario. This scenario will do a simple pass-through of messages from one side to another, and no additional scripting or dedicated routes are required.

  • flags (string, optional) - meanings of the flags is as follows:

    • t[nn] - Call setup timeout. 0 sets timeout to max_duration value. Example: t300.

    • a - Transparent authentication. In this mode b2b passes your 401 or 407 authentication request to destination server.

    • p - Preserve To: header.

    • s - Use init SDP (as described in the use_init_sdp modparam) for this session.

  • req_route (string, optional) - name of the script route to be called when requests belonging to this B2B session are received. This parameter will override the global script_req_route modparam for this particular B2B session.

  • reply_route (string, optional) - name of the script route to be called when replies belonging to this B2B session are received. This parameter will override the global script_reply_route modparam for this particular B2B session.

  • init_sdp_body (string, optional) - SDP body to use as init SDP (see the use_init_sdp modparam).

  • init_sdp_ctype (string, optional) - Content type to use for the init SDP (see the use_init_sdp modparam).

This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.

Note

If you have a multi interface setup and want to chance the outbound interface, it is mandatory to use the "force_send_socket()" core function before passing control to b2b function. If you do not do it, the requests may be correctly routed, but the SIP pacakge may be invalid (as Contact, Via, etc).

Example 1.22. b2b_init_request usage

...
if(is_method("INVITE") && !has_totag() && prepaid_user()) {
   ...
   # create initial entities
   b2b_server_new("server1");

1.5.2.  b2b_server_new(id, [adv_contact], [extra_hdrs], [extra_hdr_bodies])

This function creates a new server entity (dialog where OpenSIPS acts as a UAS) to be used for initializing a new B2B session. It should only be used for initial INVITES, before calling b2b_init_request().

Parameters:

  • id (string) - ID used to reference this entity in further B2B actions.

  • adv_contact (string, optional) - Contact header to advertise in generated messages.

  • extra_hdrs (var, optioanl) - AVP variable holding a list of extra headers (the header names) to be added for any request sent to this entity.

}
...
		

1.5.3.  b2b_client_new(id, dest_uri, [proxy], [from_dname], [adv_contact], [extra_hdrs], [extra_hdr_bodies])

This function creates a new client entity (dialog where OpenSIPS acts as a UAC) to be used for initializing a new B2B session or for a bridge action. The function can be used before calling b2b_init_request() or b2b_bridge().

Parameters:

1.5.4.  b2b_bridge(entity1, entity2, [provmedia_uri], [flags])

This function bridges two entities, in the context of an existing B2B session (the initial entities are already connected). At least one of the two entities has to be a new client entity. If an existing entity is provided, the first step will be to send it a reINVITE.

Parameters:

  • entity1 (string) - ID of the first entity to bridge; the special values: peer and this can also be used to refer to existing entities.

  • entity2 (string) - ID of the second entity to bridge; the special values: peer and this can also be used to refer to existing entities.

1.6. Exported MI Functions

1.6.1.  b2b_trigger_scenario

This command initializes a new B2B session where OpenSIPS will start a call from the middle. The initial entities to be connected are specified through the command's parameters and further scenario logic can be implemented in the b2b_logic dedicated routes.

Name: b2b_trigger_scenario

Parameters:

  • senario_id : ID for the scenario of this B2B session.

  • entity1 - first entity to be connected; specified in the following format: id,dest_uri[,from_dname] where:

    • id - ID used to reference this entity in further B2B actions

    • dest_uri - URI of the new destination

    • from_dname (optional) - Display name to use in the From header.

  • entity2 - second entity to be connected; specified in the same format as entity1

  • context (array, optional) - array of B2B context values, in the format: key=value

Parameters:

  • dialog_id : the b2b_logic key, or the callid;from-tag;to-tag of the ongoing dialog.

  • new_uri - the uri of the new destination

  • flag (optional) - used to specify that the callee must be bridged to the new destination. If not present the caller will be bridged. Possible values are '0' or '1'.

  • prov_media_uri (optional) - the uri of a media server able to play provisional media starting from the beginning of the bridging scenario to the end of it. It is optional. If not present, no other entity will be envolved in the bridging scenario

    1.7. Exported Pseudo-Variables

    1.7.1.  $b2b_logic.key

    This is a read-only variable that returns the b2b_logic key of the ongoing B2B session.

    The variable can be used in request route, local_route and the dedicated routes defined through the b2b_entities and b2b_logic modules.

    Example 1.33. $b2b_logic.key usage

    ...
    local_route {
       ...
       if ($b2b_logic.key) {
          xlog("request belongs to B2B session: $b2b_logic.key\n");
          ...
       }
       ...
    }
    ...
    	

    1.7.2.  $b2b_logic.entity(field)[idx]

    This is a read-only variable that returns information about the entities(dialogs) involved in the ongoing B2B session.

    The available entity information is:

    • the Call-ID of the dialog, accessible by using the callid subname;

    • the entity key, accessible by using the key subname or no subname at all.

    • the entity ID, accessible by using the id subname.

    • the From-Tag of the dialog, accessible by using the fromtag subname.

    • the To-Tag of the dialog, accessible by using the totag subname.

    The index is used to select which entity from the B2B session to refer to. The only possible values are 0 or 1 and correspond to the positions of the entities in the scenario. Initially, this depends on the order in which the entities are created. In the case of the internal topology hiding scenario, 0 is the caller and 1 is the callee. When a further bridge action happens, the bridged entity is always placed on the 0 index and the new entity on 1.

    If no index is provided, the variable will refer to the entity(dialog) which the current SIP message belongs to.

    The variable can be used in request route, local_route and the dedicated routes defined through the b2b_entities and b2b_logic modules.

    Example 1.34. $b2b_logic.entity usage

    ...
    modparam("b2b_entities", "script_request_route", "b2b_request")
    ...
    route[b2b_request] {
       ...
       xlog("received request for entity: $b2b_logic.entity\n");
       ...
       if ($rm == "BYE" && $b2b_logic.entity == $(b2b_logic.entity[1]))
          xlog("Disconnecting callee\n")
       ...
    }
    ...
    	

    1.7.3.  $b2b_logic.ctx(key)

    This is a read-write variable that provides access to a custom Key-Value storage(of string values) in the context of the ongoing B2B session.

    The variable can be used in request route, local_route and the dedicated routes defined through the b2b_entities and b2b_logic modules. In the main request route the variable can be used for storing a new context value even before instantiating the scenario with b2b_init_request().

    Setting the variable to NULL will delete the value at the given key.

    Example 1.35. $b2b_logic.ctx usage

    ...
    modparam("b2b_entities", "script_reply_route", "b2b_reply")
    ...
    route {
       ...
       b2b_init_request("prepaid", "sip:alice@127.0.0.1");
    
       $b2b_logic.ctx(my_extra_info) = "my_value";
       ...
    }
    ...
    route[b2b_reply] {
       ...
       xlog("my info: $b2b_logic.ctx(my_extra_info)\n");
       ...
    }
    ...
    	

    1.7.4.  $b2b_logic.scenario(key)

    This is a read-only variable that returns the scenario ID of the ongoing B2B session

    The variable can be used in request route, local_route and the dedicated routes defined through the b2b_entities and b2b_logic modules.

    Example 1.36. $b2b_logic.scenario usage

    ...
    route[b2b_logic_request] {
       if ($b2b_logic.scenario == "prepaid") {
          route(prepaid);
       } else {
          route(marketing);
       }
    }
    ...
    	

    Chapter 2. Developer Guide

    The module provides an API that can be used from other OpenSIPS modules. The API offers the functions for instantiating b2b scenarios from other modules (this comes as an addition to the other two means of instantiating b2b scenarios - from script and with an MI command). Also the instantiations can be dynamically controlled, by commanding the bridging of an entity involved in a call to another entity or the termination of the call or even bridging two existing calls.

    2.1.  b2b_logic_bind(b2bl_api_t* api)

    This function binds the b2b_entities modules and fills the structure the exported functions that will be described in detail.

    Example 2.1. b2bl_api_t structure

    ...
    typedef struct b2bl_api
    {
    	b2bl_init_f init;
    	b2bl_bridge_f bridge;
    	b2bl_bridge_extern_f bridge_extern;
    	b2bl_bridge_2calls_t bridge_2calls;
    	b2bl_terminate_call_t terminate_call;
    	b2bl_set_state_f set_state;
    	b2bl_bridge_msg_t bridge_msg;
    }b2bl_api_t;
    ...
    

    2.2.  init

    Field type:

    ...
    typedef str* (*b2bl_init_f)(struct sip_msg* msg, str* name, str* args[5],
    		b2bl_cback_f, void* param);
    ...
    

    Initializing a b2b scenario. The last two parameters are the callback function and the parameter to be called in 3 situations that will be listed below. The callback function has the following definition:

    ...
    typedef int (*b2b_notify_t)(struct sip_msg* msg, str* id, int type, void* param);
    ...
    

    The first argument is the callback given in the init function.

    The second argument is a structure with some statistics about the call -start time, setup time, call time.

    The third argument is the current state of the scenario instantiation.

    The last argument is the event that triggered the callback. There are 3 events when the callback is called:

    • when a BYE is received from either side- event parameter will also show from which side the BYE is received, so it can be B2B_BYE_E1 or B2B_BYE_E2

    • If while bridging, a negative reply is received from the second entity - the event is B2B_REJECT_E2.

    • When the b2b logic entity is deleted- the evnet is B2B_DESTROY

    The return code controls what will happen with the request/reply that caused the event (except for the last event, when the return code does not matter)

    • -1 - error

    • 0 - drop the BYE or reply

    • 1 - send the BYE or reply on the other side

    • 2 - do what the scenario tells, if no rule defined send the BYE or reply on the other side

    2.3.  bridge

    Field type:

    ...
    typedef int (*b2bl_bridge_f)(str* key, str* new_uri, str* new_from_dname,int entity_type);
    ...
    

    This function allows bridging an entity that is in a call handled by b2b_logic to another entity.

    2.4.  bridge_extern

    Field type:

    ...
    typedef str* (*b2bl_bridge_extern_f)(str* scenario_name, str* args[5],
                    b2bl_cback_f cbf, void* cb_param);
    ...
    

    This function allows initiating an extern scenario, when the B2BUA starts a call from the middle.

    2.5.  bridge_2calls

    Field type:

    ...
    typedef int (*b2bl_bridge_2calls_t)(str* key1, str* key2);
    ...
    

    With this function it is possible to bridge two existing calls. The first entity from the two calls will be connected and BYE will be sent to their peers.

    2.6.  terminate_call

    Field type:

    ...
    typedef int (*b2bl_terminate_call_t)(str* key);
    ...
    

    Terminate a call.

    2.7.  set_state

    Field type:

    ...
    typedef int (*b2bl_set_state_f)(str* key, int state);
    ...
    

    Set the scenario state.

    2.8.  bridge_msg

    Field type:

    ...
    typedef int (*b2bl_bridge_msg_t)(struct sip_msg* msg, str* key, int entity_no);
    ...
    

    This function allows bridging an incoming call to an entity from an existing call.

    The first argument is the INVITE message of the current incoming call.

    The second argument is the b2bl_key of an existing call.

    The third argument is the entity identifier.
