If you’re setting up Kamailio for support for WebSocket and need to bind to TCP port 80 or TCP port 443, you may run into the issue that permission is denied to bind to these ports when you try and start the service.

Using Kamailio with a Diameter Routing Agent
Recently I had a strange issue I thought I’d share. Using Kamailio as an Interrogating-CSCF, Kamailio was getting the S-CSCF details from the User-Authorization-Answer’s “Server-Name” (602) AVP.

It is rather unstable, in that if it fails to dispatch to a Diameter peer, the whole thing comes crumbling down, … Continue reading A very unstable Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) with Kamailio

So far with most of our discussions about Kamailio we’ve talked about routing the initial SIP request (INVITE, REGISTER, SUBSCRIBE, etc), but SIP is not a one-message protocol, there’s a whole series of SIP messages that go into a SIP Dialog.
