๐Ÿ“ก Understanding Media Proxy in VOS3000

Media proxy determines whether RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) voice packets flow directly between endpoints or through the VOS3000 server. This decision has significant implications for NAT traversal, audio quality, server resource usage, and call reliability.

๐Ÿ“Š VOS3000 Media Proxy Modes

The SS_MEDIAPROXYMODE parameter controls media proxy behavior with four distinct modes:

ModeBehaviorServer LoadBest Use Case
OffNever proxy media; RTP flows directly between endpointsLowestPublic IP endpoints, no NAT issues
OnAlways proxy all media through serverHighestTroubleshooting, maximum control
AutoIntelligent decision based on conditionsVariableMixed environments, recommended
Must OnForced proxy regardless of other settingsHighestSpecific debugging scenarios only

โš™๏ธ Media Proxy Auto Mode Decision Logic (VOS3000 Media Proxy)

When SS_MEDIAPROXYMODE is set to “Auto,” VOS3000 follows a precise decision algorithm to determine whether media proxy is needed:

Media Proxy Decision Steps (Auto Mode):

Step 1: Check if caller or callee MUST have media proxy
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ If gateway/phone has Media Proxy = Must On
        โ””โ”€โ”€ Result: ENABLE media proxy

Step 2: Check if caller or callee has Media Proxy disabled
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ If gateway/phone has Media Proxy = Off
        โ””โ”€โ”€ Result: DISABLE media proxy

Step 3: Check if caller or callee has Media Proxy enabled
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ If gateway/phone has Media Proxy = On
        โ””โ”€โ”€ Result: ENABLE media proxy

Step 4: Check if callee has local ring enabled
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ Local ring requires media proxy for ringback tone
        โ””โ”€โ”€ Result: ENABLE media proxy

Step 5: Check for dynamic registration with encryption
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ If phone/gateway uses dynamic register AND encryption
        โ””โ”€โ”€ Result: ENABLE media proxy

Step 6: Check cross-network routing (SS_MEDIAPROXYBETWEENNET)
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ If caller and callee from different networks
        โ””โ”€โ”€ Result: ENABLE media proxy

Step 7: Check NAT conditions (SS_MEDIAPROXYBEHINDNAT)
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ If phone and gateway in same NAT, SS_MEDIAPROXYSAMENAT = On
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ If phone and gateway in different NAT, one in private network
        โ””โ”€โ”€ Result: ENABLE media proxy

Step 8: Default action
        โ””โ”€โ”€ Result: DISABLE media proxy

๐Ÿ“ก RTP Port Configuration (VOS3000 Media Proxy)

RTP port configuration determines which UDP ports VOS3000 uses for voice media streams. Proper configuration is essential for firewall rules and capacity planning. VOS3000 Media Proxy

๐Ÿ“Š RTP Port Parameters VOS3000 Media Proxy

ParameterDefault ValueDescription
SS_RTP_PORT_RANGE10000,39999UDP port range for RTP media streams
SS_H245_PORT_RANGE10000,39999H.245 port range for H.323 calls
IVR_RTP_PORT40000,47999RTP port range for IVR services

โš™๏ธ RTP Port Sizing Calculation

RTP Port Capacity Planning:

Each concurrent call uses 2 RTP ports (one for each direction)
Port Range: 10000-39999 = 30,000 ports
Maximum Concurrent Calls = 30,000 / 2 = 15,000 calls

However, consider:
- Each port allocation has overhead
- IVR services need separate port range
- H.323 calls share same range

๐Ÿ”‘ SIP Parameters Reference – VOS3000 Media Proxy

SIP parameters control how VOS3000 handles SIP signaling, authentication, and session management. These parameters directly impact call setup success and session reliability.

๐Ÿ“Š Critical SIP Parameters

ParameterDefaultPurpose
SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_MESSAGEHELLOContent of NAT keep-alive message
SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_PERIOD30Keep-alive interval in seconds (10-86400)
SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_SEND_INTERVAL500Interval between sending keep-alives (ms)
SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_SEND_ONE_TIME3000Number of keep-alives sent per batch
SS_SIP_SESSION_TTL1800Session Timer TTL in seconds
SS_SIP_SESSION_UPDATE_SEGMENT300Session update interval in seconds
SS_SIP_RESEND_INTERVAL0.5,1,2,4,4,4,4,4,4,4SIP message resend intervals (seconds)
SS_SIP_NO_TIMER_REINVITE_INTERVAL7200Max call time for non-timer SIP clients

โš™๏ธ NAT Keep-Alive Configuration

NAT Keep-Alive Purpose:
- Maintains NAT binding for devices behind NAT
- Prevents one-way audio caused by expired bindings
- Essential for devices that don't support SIP Timer

How It Works:
1. VOS3000 sends UDP message to registered device IP
2. Message content = SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_MESSAGE (default: "HELLO")
3. Sent every SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_PERIOD seconds (default: 30)
4. This keeps the NAT mapping active

Configuration Example:
SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_MESSAGE = "HELLO"
SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_PERIOD = 30
SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_SEND_INTERVAL = 500
SS_SIP_NAT_KEEP_ALIVE_SEND_ONE_TIME = 3000

This means:
- Send "HELLO" to each device every 30 seconds
- Wait 500ms between sending to different devices
- Process 3000 devices in each batch

Scaling Notes:
- 3000 devices ร— 500ms = 25 minutes to process all
- Adjust SEND_ONE_TIME for large deployments
- Increase SEND_INTERVAL if network is slow

๐Ÿ” Authentication Parameters

Authentication parameters control how VOS3000 handles SIP authentication challenges and account lockout policies for security.

๐Ÿ“Š Authentication Security Parameters

ParameterDefaultPurpose
SS_AUTHENTICATION_MAX_RETRY6Max auth retries before suspension (0-999)
SS_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED_SUSPEND180Suspension duration in seconds (60-3600)
SS_SIP_AUTHENTICATION_CODEUnauthorized(401)SIP response code for auth challenge
SS_SIP_AUTHENTICATION_TIMEOUT10Timeout for SIP authentication in seconds
SS_SIP_AUTHENTICATION_RETRY6SIP auth retry count for 401/407 responses

โš™๏ธ Authentication Lockout Configuration

Security Configuration Example:

For High-Security Environments:
SS_AUTHENTICATION_MAX_RETRY = 3
SS_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED_SUSPEND = 300

For Standard Environments:
SS_AUTHENTICATION_MAX_RETRY = 6
SS_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED_SUSPEND = 180

For Relaxed Environments (trusted networks only):
SS_AUTHENTICATION_MAX_RETRY = 10
SS_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED_SUSPEND = 60

How Lockout Works:
1. Device attempts registration with wrong password
2. VOS3000 returns 401 Unauthorized
3. Device retries (up to SS_AUTHENTICATION_MAX_RETRY times)
4. After max retries, IP is added to temporary block list
5. Block lasts for SS_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED_SUSPEND seconds
6. After timeout, device can retry

This protects against:
- Brute force password attacks
- SIP flood attacks
- Credential guessing
- Automated hacking tools

๐Ÿ“Š Session Timer Configuration (VOS3000 Media Proxy)

Session timers ensure that hung calls are detected and cleaned up, preventing “ghost calls” and billing errors.

โš™๏ธ Session Timer Parameters

Session Timer Configuration:

SS_SIP_SESSION_TTL = 1800 (30 minutes)
SS_SIP_SESSION_UPDATE_SEGMENT = 300 (5 minutes)
SS_SIP_NO_TIMER_REINVITE_INTERVAL = 7200 (2 hours)

How SIP Session Timer Works:
1. During call setup, session timer is negotiated
2. VOS3000 sends UPDATE or re-INVITE at interval
3. If no response, session is considered dead
4. Call is terminated and CDR is generated

For Non-Timer-Capable Clients:
- SS_SIP_NO_TIMER_REINVITE_INTERVAL sets max call time
- After this duration, call is terminated
- Prevents ultra-long "zombie" calls

Recommended Values:

โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

Should I set media proxy to On or Auto?

Auto mode is recommended for most deployments. It intelligently enables media proxy only when needed (NAT traversal, encryption, cross-network calls) while allowing direct RTP when possible. This provides the best balance of reliability and server resource usage.

How do I know if my RTP port range is sufficient?

Calculate: Each concurrent call uses 2 RTP ports. With default range 10000-39999 (30,000 ports), you can support 15,000 concurrent calls. Monitor port usage through system performance monitoring. If you see port allocation errors, increase the range or reduce concurrent call load.

Why do calls drop at 30 seconds?

This typically indicates SIP session timer or NAT binding issues. Check SS_SIP_SESSION_TTL and ensure NAT keep-alive is configured. The 30-second timeout often corresponds to NAT binding expiry when keep-alives are not working.

What is the best authentication retry setting?

For most environments, the default of 6 retries with 180-second suspension works well. For high-security environments, reduce to 3 retries with longer suspension (300+ seconds). Balance security against false positives from legitimate users mistyping passwords.

How do I troubleshoot media proxy issues?

Use Debug Trace in VOS3000 to capture SIP and SDP messages. Check if media proxy is being invoked (look at the c= line in SDP). Verify that RTP ports are within configured range. Check firewall rules allow both signaling and RTP ports.

Whether you’re serving hundreds or thousands of concurrent calls, a masterโ€‘slave high availability (HA) setup is the industry standard for reliability.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the complete process of configuring VOS3000 disaster recovery, including prerequisites, stepโ€‘byโ€‘step setup, testing, and best practices.

Why VOS3000 Disaster Recovery Matters

VOS3000 stores all critical data โ€“ accounts, rates, CDRs โ€“ in a MySQL database. If the server crashes, you lose not only current calls but also the ability to route new traffic. A disaster recovery setup provides:

  • Automatic failover โ€“ slave takes over within seconds
  • Data redundancy โ€“ realโ€‘time replication prevents data loss
  • Minimal manual intervention โ€“ no need to reconfigure everything

Understanding VOS3000 High Availability Architecture

VOS3000 uses a masterโ€‘slave replication model:

  • Master server โ€“ handles all live calls, writes CDRs, and accepts configuration changes.
  • Slave server โ€“ constantly synchronizes data from the master and stands ready to take over.
  • Shared virtual IP โ€“ clients and gateways connect to a single IP that floats between servers.

When the master fails, the slave detects the outage, activates its softswitch services, and assumes the virtual IP. Calls in progress may drop, but new calls are processed immediately.

Prerequisites for Disaster Recovery Setup

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • Two identical servers with VOS3000 installed (same version, same CentOS/RHEL release).
  • Dedicated private network between them for replication (low latency).
  • Same MySQL root password on both servers.
  • Virtual IP that can be moved between servers (requires `keepalived` or similar).
  • Sufficient disk space on both servers (mirroring CDR storage).

Stepโ€‘byโ€‘Step VOS3000 Disaster Recovery Configuration

Step 1: Prepare the Master Server

On the master server, enable binary logging and set a unique server ID:

# Edit /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]

log-bin=mysql-bin server-id=1 binlog-do-db=vos3000db # your actual database name

Restart MySQL and create a replication user:

CREATE USER 'replica'@'slave_ip' IDENTIFIED BY 'strong_password';
GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO 'replica'@'slave_ip';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Record the master status:

SHOW MASTER STATUS;

Step 2: Prepare the Slave Server

Stop MySQL, copy the master data to slave (using `mysqldump` or `xtrabackup`), then configure slave:

[mysqld]
server-id=2
relay-log=relay-log

Start MySQL and set up replication:

CHANGE MASTER TO
  MASTER_HOST='master_ip',
  MASTER_USER='replica',
  MASTER_PASSWORD='strong_password',
  MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.xxxxxx',
  MASTER_LOG_POS=xxxx;
START SLAVE;

Verify with SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G โ€“ both Slave_IO_Running and Slave_SQL_Running should be “Yes”.

Step 3: Configure Virtual IP with Keepalived

Install and configure keepalived on both servers. Example `/etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf` (master):

vrrp_instance VI_1 {
    state MASTER
    interface eth0
    virtual_router_id 51
    priority 101
    advert_int 1
    virtual_ipaddress {
        192.168.1.100/24   # your virtual IP
    }
}

On slave, change state to BACKUP and priority to 100. Restart keepalived.

Step 4: Configure VOS3000 Services for HA

On both servers, ensure that VOS3000 listens on the virtual IP (edit network settings or use IP aliasing). In the VOS3000 web interface, set the “Local IP” of gateways and phones to the virtual IP. This way, after failover, devices reconnect automatically.

Step 5: Test Failover

Simulate a master failure by stopping the master server or the VOS3000 process. Verify that:

  • The virtual IP moves to the slave.
  • New calls can be established.
  • CDRs are written on the slave (and later synced back when master recovers).

Monitoring Disaster Recovery Status

VOS3000 provides builtโ€‘in tools to monitor HA status:

  • Disaster Tolerance Status โ€“ shows current master, slave, and sync lag.
  • Disaster Tolerance Data โ€“ verify data consistency between servers.
  • Disaster Tolerance Equipment โ€“ manage registered HA pairs.

Access these via the web interface under “Disaster Recovery System”.

Backup Strategy in a DR Setup

Even with replication, you need regular backups:

  • Daily mysqldump of the entire database (compressed, stored offโ€‘server).
  • Binary logs โ€“ keep them for pointโ€‘inโ€‘time recovery.
  • Configuration files โ€“ backup `/etc` and VOS3000 config directories.

Common Pitfalls and Solutions

  • Replication lag โ€“ caused by slow network or heavy writes. Monitor with `Seconds_Behind_Master`.
  • Splitโ€‘brain โ€“ both servers think they are master. Use fencing (STONITH) or careful keepalived config.
  • Different MySQL versions โ€“ always use the same version on both servers.
  • Firewall blocking replication port (3306) โ€“ open between servers.

Frequently Asked Questions (VOS3000 Disaster Recovery)

Does VOS3000 support activeโ€‘active clustering?

No, VOS3000 officially supports activeโ€‘passive masterโ€‘slave replication. Activeโ€‘active is not recommended because of potential conflicts in realโ€‘time billing and CDR sequence.

How long does failover take?

With keepalived and properly tuned services, failover typically completes within 5โ€‘10 seconds. Calls established before failure may drop, but new calls are processed immediately.

Will I lose CDRs during failover?

If replication is synchronous enough, most CDRs are already on the slave. Any CDRs that were in memory but not yet written to the master’s database may be lost. To minimize loss, set `sync_binlog=1` and `innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1` on master.

Can I use a different hardware for slave?

Yes, but it’s recommended to use identical hardware to ensure consistent performance during failover. If the slave is weaker, it may struggle to handle full traffic load.

How do I switch back to the original master after repair?

Repair the master, ensure it has caught up with the slave (reโ€‘sync if needed), then manually promote it back using a controlled switchover procedure to avoid splitโ€‘brain.

Conclusion

Implementing VOS3000 disaster recovery with masterโ€‘slave replication is the best way to protect your VoIP business from unexpected outages. While the setup requires careful planning, the peace of mind and service continuity are well worth the effort.
