SIP traces provide key information in troubleshooting SIP Trunks, SIP endpoints and other SIP related issues. Even though these traces are in clear text, these texts can be gibberish unless you understand fully what they mean.

This document attempts to break down each component of the SIP interaction using a practical approach. We will look at various logs, the SIP messages, headers, SDP information and try to figure out what is going on in a sip voice call transaction.

In as much as I will try to define the under lying layer of the SIP messaging, this document will not go into in-depth analysis of the SIP protocol, so it is advisable to understand SIP protocol technology to be able to understand sip traces.

One key element of troubleshooting is this: To fix a problem, you need to understand the issue, how it works before you can restore it to order.

One popular debug used in troubleshooting a sip solution on a cisco IOS router is

 

“Debug ccsip messages”.

 

To understand The output generated by this debug..We need to understand the Key/fundamental sip messages exchanged during a sip voice call..

1. Invite

2. Trying

3. Ringing

4. ACK

5. OK

 

 

We will look at these messages as we try to understand the debugs. These messages are key in knowing what’s going on. They help us to understand the language been spoken so we are not lost like a non French speaking man in Paris!

Ok enough of grammars, lets dive in! Ready?

INVITE:

An Invite is a SIP requests called methods. There are Six SIP methods described in the SIP specification document RFC 3261 [1].

The INVITE, REGISTER, BYE, ACK, CANCEL, and OPTIONS methods are the original six methods

in SIP.

 

The INVITE method is used to establish media sessions between user agents. In

telephony, it is similar to a Setup message in ISDN

 

 

An INVITE usually has a message body containing the media information

of the caller. The message body can also contain other session information, such

as a resource list in the case of an early offer. If an INVITE does not contain media information, the ACK contains the media information of the UAC.

 

To identify the caller, the called number, the media information and resources advertised in the Invite, SIP invites use headers. Headers are key parameters within the SIP invite and we shall look at them so as to gain full clarity of what’s going on.

 

Let’s look at a sample SIP trace from CUCM. Note this is very similar to what a debug ccsip messages will produce on a CUBE gateway.

 

Here is the call setup for this trace

 

CUCM----------sip trunk------>CUBE---------SIP Trunk--------------->ITSP

(10.105.80.114)                        (10.105.80.174)

 

INVITE with SDP.

Now let’s break it up or dissect this piece of information.

 

As we can see there are lots of headers in this invite…

The INVITE header

 

INVITE sip:14107584528207@10.105.80.174:5060 SIP/2.0

 

This is the first part of the trace usually refrred to as the Request-URI This shows four key things

1. The called number

2. The device responsible for the called number or the device through which the called number will be routed

3. SIP Port number

4. Sip Version..

 

So here we see the called number is: 14107584528207

The gateway responsible for routing to this number is 10.105.80.174

SIP port is 5060 and the Sip version is 2.0

 

The Via Header:

 

Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.105.80.114:5060;branch=z9hG4bK98e4117d52a6

 

The required Via header field is used to record the SIP route taken by a request

and is used to route a response back to the originator. A UA generating a request

records its own address in a Via header field.

 

Here we see that CUCM is the UA generating this invite and it stamps it IP on the call. This helps identify the origin of the call.

Via header fields contain protocol name, version number, and transport

(SIP/2.0/UDP, SIP/2.0/TCP, etc)

 

The Via header contains what is called the sent-by field. The image below shows the sent by field and this is where the required response will be sent to.

In SIP responses follow the via header except for future requests like ACK and BYE where responses are sent to the contact header

The To and From Headers

 

From: <sip:01214248526@10.105.80.114>;tag=25526~ffa80926-5fac-4dd6-b405-2dbbc56ae9a2-551664735

 

To: sip:14107584528207@10.105.80.174

 

The next header fields are the To and From header fields, which show the

originator and destination of the SIP request.

 

Note that the To and From header fields are not reversed in the response message as one might expect them to be. This is because the To and From header fields in SIP are defi ned to indicate the direction of the request, not the direction of the message. Since <sip:01214248526@10.105.80.114 initiated this request, all responses to this INVITE will read

To: sip:14107584528207@10.105.80.174

From: <sip:01214248526@10.105.80.114.

 

Date Header:

 

 

A key component of the sip message. Its tells us the time of the sip request.

 

 

Call ID:

 

Call-ID: 68781700-f791ec0f-2d26-e28690a@10.105.80.114

 

The Call-ID header field is an identifier used to keep track of a particular SIP session. The originator of the request creates a locally unique string. Some older implementations also add an “@” and its host name to the string. The initiator of the session that generates the establishing INVITE generates the unique Call-ID and From tag.

 

The Call ID is one of the key components used in troubleshooting. Each UA generates its own Call ID. Sowhen a call originates from CUCM, CUCM generates its own call id and when a call origate from the CUBE, CUBE generate its own call ID.

 

 

 

Cseq Header:

 

 

CSeq: 101 INVITE

The command sequence CSeq header field is a required header field in every request. The CSeq header field contains a decimal number that increases for each request. Usually, it increases by 1 for each new request, with the exception of CANCEL and ACK requests, which use the CSeq number of the INVITE request to which it refers. The CSeq count is used by UASs to determine out-of-sequence requests or to differentiate between a new request (different CSeq) or a retransmission (same CSeq). The CSeq header fi eld is used by UACs to match a response to the request it references

 

 

 

User Agent Header:

 

 

User-Agent: Cisco-CUCM8.6

 

 

This header identifies the UA that is originating this request/response. In this trace we can see that the UA above is CUCM version 8.6.The user agent header helps identify the originator of the request/response.

 

SDP Extensions and Attributes

 

The SDP extensions used in the application/SDP header lists the media capabilities the calling party is willing to receive or negotiate or support for the session. The table below shows the SDP attributes in this test call and the meaning of each attribute/extension. Please note that The RFC 3264[17] specifies that the attributes containing “a=rtpmap” should be used for each media field

 

 

SDP Parameter Parameter                                                             Name

Lets look at media attributes below

 

                                             m=audio 25268 RTP/AVP 18 0 8 101

 

This line defines the media attribtes that will be used for the call.

 

               Audio:           means that this is an Audio call, we can also have m=video in case of a Video call

               25268:           Is the dynamic RTP port used for the call

               RTP/AVP:      Represents the RTP/AVP profile number for each of the profiles listed. The profile numbers are explained below

              

               18=G729

               0=PCMU

               8=PCMA

               101=rtp-nte payload

 

 

 

DISSECTING A SIP TRACE

 

Now we have looked at the basics of sip headers and messages, lets use this to understand the following sip trace

 

The call flow for this call is as shown:

 

 

PSTN-------->ITSP------->CUBE--------------->CUCM---------------->IP PHONE

 

 

 

 

ITSP: 10.10.33.132

CUBE:10.100.0.74

CUCM:10.100.0.14

 

 

 

 

1. An inbound call is received on the CUBE from the ITSP. This invite was sent with SDP. NB that this inbound leg of this call will have a unique call ID that shows the origin of the call, highlighted below.

 

Received:

a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
a=fmtp:101 0-15
a=ptime:20
a=fmtp:18 annexb=no

 

+++From our understanding of the traces, we see that the call originates from a device called Broadworks, which advertises G711a, G711u, G729 and uses rtp-nte for DTMF. We also see the IP address for the CUBE to stream its RTP to.+++++

 

2. A new Invite Sent to CUCM.

 

After the CUBE receives the invite, it sends an invite to cucm based on the dial-peers configured.

 

NB: that this new invite is sent with a new CALL-ID. This is very important in understanding the order of thigs especially when troubleshooting issues. We can also see that the CUBE advertises all its SDP attributes, codec, dtmf supported, fax etc.

11. Finally the call is ended. Now when troubleshooting the direction of call termination is important. In this case we can see that the CUBE receives a BYE, which is the sip method for call termination. However who sent the BYE, is it CUCM or ITSP…The answer is in the Call-ID. As we call can see the CALL-ID is for the leg from the ITSP. So we see that the call was terminated from the ITSP side.

 

Next important thing is the cause code. The reason why the call was terminated.

 

                                CSeq: 558267842 BYE

        Reason: Q.850;cause=16

 

Here we see as normal call clearing Cause=16.

.Is it mandatory to enable debug to be able to see the invite ,ok ,Ringing ,... or we can put Wire shark to capture those messages without enabling debug in the CUBE?

The debugs are the easiest way of seeing the sip transaction in CUBE. You cant use wireshark natively with CUBE, you will have to configure and enable "wireshark like" captures in CUBE.

Great Document... Thank you for posting... Question for you:

Given the following 200 OK (without the Send or Receive label at the top), can you tell what IP address sent this packet (or did the device I gathered the trace from send it)?

Thanks Ayodeji,

Your inputs are always helpful!

I have question regarding the sequence header as your mentioned it will be incremented by a value of 1 but in BYE message its has incremented to two as 103 cseq number.

And in point # 9 CSeq: 101 SUBSCRIBE : what this subscribe message indicate as I know if the sip signalling  has subscribe message it has to be responded by 200 OK and notify followed by in exchange of messages, kindly correct me if I am wrong and it will helpful if you put some light on that messages too.

Thanks again,

Saif

Hi Saif,

According to the rfc,

SUBSCRIBE is a dialog-creating method, as described in SIP [1].

   When a subscriber wishes to subscribe to a particular state for a
   resource, it forms a SUBSCRIBE message

SUBSCRIBE is popularly used for event notification such as DTMF. Example is DTMF using KPML.

Cseq 103 implies that there has been two previous Cseq 101 and 102. It always increment by one for any request.

Hi Ayodeji

I need to copy SIP diversion header and replace "To" field on INVITE header. my client is  running CME and service provider SIP Trunk terminates on the same CME gateway with SCCP phones. 

Is SIP profile / copylist supported in this scenario?

Great SIP troubleshooting Document Ayodeji and thank you very much for you effort.
