INVITE (Inbound)

Introduction

These methods in from TestSipLuaAgent Lua API are used for tests which perform the SIP UAS role for an inbound INVITE transaction, expecting an inbound SIP INVITE Request for an as-yet-unknown Call-ID, which will begin a new dialog with associated Test SIP Library INVITE context.

The method invite_expect_request has two specific unique points which are distinct from other “expect” methods related to inbound messages, specifically:

INVITE (Inbound) API

.invite_expect_request [Asynchronous]

The invite_expect_request method will request the TestSipLuaAgent to wait until an inbound SIP INVITE Request message is received, for a new SIP Call-ID which does not yet currently belong to any other Test SIP instance, and which has a secondary attribute (e.g. calling party, called party) which matches the currently active “incall registration” made by this test script.

The agent will wait up until the expect_secs configured value for a SIP message to arrive. An error will be raised if no message is received in this time.

The invite_expect_request method takes the following arguments:

Argument Type Description
endpoints Object [Required] The endpoints object defining the IP address and ports which will be used for sending and receiving messages for this UAC transaction.
This object is typically constructed using the default_endpoints method.
extra_headers Array of Object An optional list of extra headers to be tested in the INVITE Request.
Each object in the array must have a name and a value.
If a header is expected to appear more than once, then value may be an Array of String.
.name String The name of the extra header to test for in the INVITE Request.
.value UNDEF or String or Array of String The value of the header to test from the INVITE Request.
The value UNDEF means "test that this header is not present".
A String value means "test" that the first header instance has this value.
An Array of String value means "test that the header exists N times with these values".
options Object Additional override/customisation behavior for this test message.
(Default = see defaults for individual options).
.sdp_media tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_* If specified, this must be one of the pre-defined SDP Media Constants.
The value tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_NONE means "No SDP should be present" in the received message.
(Default = tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_NONE no SDP should be present).
.sdp_suspended tsuo.SDP_SUS_* If specified, this must be one of the pre-defined SDP Suspended Constants.
This value is relevant only if SDP media is expected.
(Default = tsuo.SDP_SUS_NONE the non-suspended (i.e. active) variant is sent/expected).
.sdp_direction tsuo.SDP_DIR_* If specified, this must be one of the pre-defined SDP Direction Constants.
This value is relevant only if SDP media is expected and SDP suspended is not-suspended.
(Default = tsuo.SDP_DIR_SENDRECV all non-suspended media streams are bi-directional).
.isup_bytes Byte String Optional ISUP bytes which we expect to receive in the INVITE Request.
If ISUP is expected then the Content-Type header value (top-level or multipart) must contain application/ISUP.
If ISUP is not expected, then there must be no ISUP Content, and if no SDP content is present then there must be no Content body.
(Default = expect to receive no ISUP content).

This method returns the decoded SIP INVITE Request message, as returned by the “n2.http” utility module.

Example of expecting SIP INVITE Request to suspend after receiving 200 OK with media:

-- Construct an SDP Offer with only PCMU (including telephone-event).
local sdp_offer = tsuo.sdp_offer (context, tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_LINPHONE)

-- Construct and Send INVITE Request containing the SDP Offer.
tsuo.invite_send_request (context, sdp_offer)

-- Expect Trying (no Ringing) from the IVR.
tsuo.invite_expect_response (context, 100, "Trying")

-- Expect INVITE Answer Response (200 OK) immediately also.
-- The SDP Answer is expected to be PCMU with telephone-event.
--
local response = tsuo.invite_expect_response (context, 200, "OK", nil, { sdp_media = tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_LINPHONE_U })
tsuo.invite_send_2xx_ack (context)

-- We now expect a INVITE which contains an SDP Offer that is:
--    PCMU without telephone-event
--    Suspended using the "inactive" media attribute.
--
tsuo.invite_expect_request (context, {}, { sdp_media = tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_NT_LINPHONE_U, sdp_suspended = tsuo.SDP_SUS_INACTIVE })

-- We construct our INVITE SDP Answer to be identical to the received INVITE Offer.
tsuo.sdp_answer (context, tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_NT_LINPHONE_U, nil, tsuo.SDP_SUS_INACTIVE)

-- tsuo.invite_send_response (context, 100, "Trying")
tsuo.invite_send_response (context, 200, "OK", sdp_answer)
tsuo.invite_expect_2xx_ack (context, {})

.invite_expect_request_resend [Asynchronous]

The invite_expect_request_resend method will request the TestSipLuaAgent to wait until an inbound SIP INVITE Request message is received, for an existing Call-ID for which an inbound INVITE Request was previously received through the invite_expect_request.

The agent will wait up until the expect_secs configured value for a SIP message to arrive. An error will be raised if no message is received in this time. An error will be raised if the received message is not a SIP Request, or if the received SIP message is not an INVITE Request message, or if the INVITE Request is not a re-send of the previously received message.

The invite_expect_request_resend method takes the following arguments:

Argument Type Description
context Object [Required] An existing inbound INVITE context, as created by a previous call to invite_expect_request.
extra_headers Array of Object An optional list of extra headers to be tested in the INVITE Request.
Each object in the array must have a name and a value.
If a header is expected to appear more than once, then value may be an Array of String.
.name String The name of the extra header to test for in the INVITE Request.
.value UNDEF or String or Array of String The value of the header to test from the INVITE Request.
The value UNDEF means "test that this header is not present".
A String value means "test" that the first header instance has this value.
An Array of String value means "test that the header exists N times with these values".
options Object Additional override/customisation behavior for this test message.
(Default = see defaults for individual options).
.sdp_media tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_* If specified, this must be one of the pre-defined SDP Media Constants.
The value tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_NONE means "No SDP should be present" in the received message.
(Default = tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_NONE no SDP should be present).
.sdp_suspended tsuo.SDP_SUS_* If specified, this must be one of the pre-defined SDP Suspended Constants.
This value is relevant only if SDP media is expected.
(Default = tsuo.SDP_SUS_NONE the non-suspended (i.e. active) variant is sent/expected).
.sdp_direction tsuo.SDP_DIR_* If specified, this must be one of the pre-defined SDP Direction Constants.
This value is relevant only if SDP media is expected and SDP suspended is not-suspended.
(Default = tsuo.SDP_DIR_SENDRECV all non-suspended media streams are bi-directional).
.isup_bytes Byte String Optional ISUP bytes which we expect to receive in the INVITE Request.
If ISUP is expected then the Content-Type header value (top-level or multipart) must contain application/ISUP.
If ISUP is not expected, then there must be no ISUP Content, and if no SDP content is present then there must be no Content body.
(Default = expect to receive no ISUP content).

This method returns the decoded SIP INVITE Request message, as returned by the “n2.http” utility module.

Example of expecting SIP INVITE Request to suspend after receiving 200 OK with media:

local context = tsuo.invite_expect_request (endpoints, { ['User-Agent'] = "N-Squared LHO", Scenario = scenario })
local call_pcv = context.invite_pcv
tv = match.elapsed ("Received SIP INVITE (immediate)", tv, 0)

-- Wait 0.5 seconds so that we get a re-send on the INVITE.
tsuo.invite_expect_request_resend (context, { ['User-Agent'] = "N-Squared LHO", Scenario = scenario })

.invite_send_response [Synchronous]

The invite_send_response method sends a TEST-SIP-SEND message to the TestSipApp to request that an outbound SIP INVITE Response is sent to the previously determined remote endpoint IP and port address.

Control will return immediately to the Lua script. There is no wait for any confirmation from the TestSipApp. If there is a problem sending then the TestSipAgent will subsequently send us a TEST-SIP-FAIL message which will be detected if and when any subsequent SIP messaging is performed by the test script.

The method will:

The invite_send_response method takes the following arguments:

Argument Type Description
context Object [Required] The INVITE context, as used for a previous call to invite_expect_request.
code Integer [Required] The integer code value to send, e.g. 200.
message String [Required] The string message value to send, e.g. "OK".
sdp_content String The SDP Content to include in the SIP message.
(Default = do not include SDP Content).
extra_headers Array of Object An optional list of extra headers.
Each object in the array must have a name and a value.
A header name may appear more than once in this array to support repeated headers in the Response.
.name String The name of the extra header to add to the INVITE Response.
.value String The value of the extra header to add to the INVITE Response.

Example: See the above example for invite_expect_request.

.invite_expect_2xx_ack [Asynchronous]

The invite_expect_2xx_ack method will request the TestSipLuaAgent to wait until an inbound SIP INVITE ACK Request message is received, in the context of a previously established inbound or outbound INVITE transaction/dialog which belongs to this Lua script instance. This must be a INVITE ACK suitable for the 2xx Response sent by us.

The agent will wait up until the expect_secs configured value for a SIP message to arrive. An error will be raised if no message is received in this time. An error will be raised if the received message is not a SIP Reponse, or if the received SIP message is not a INVITE ACK Request message suitable for the 2xx INVITE Response sent by us.

The invite_expect_2xx_ack method takes the following arguments:

Argument Type Description
context Object [Required] The INVITE context, as used for a previous call to invite_send_response with a SIP Status Code in the range 200-299.
extra_headers Array of Object An optional list of extra headers to be tested in the INVITE ACK Request.
Each object in the array must have a name and a value.
If a header is expected to appear more than once, then value may be an Array of String.
.name String The name of the extra header to test for in the INVITE ACK Request.
.value UNDEF or String or Array of String The value of the header to test from the INVITE ACK Request.
The value UNDEF means "test that this header is not present".
A String value means "test" that the first header instance has this value.
An Array of String value means "test that the header exists N times with these values".
options Object Additional override/customisation behavior for this test message.
(Default = see defaults for individual options).
.sdp_media tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_* If specified, this must be one of the pre-defined SDP Media Constants.
The value tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_NONE means "No SDP should be present" in the received message.
(Default = tsuo.SDP_MEDIA_NONE no SDP should be present).
.sdp_suspended tsuo.SDP_SUS_* If specified, this must be one of the pre-defined SDP Suspended Constants.
This value is relevant only if SDP media is expected.
(Default = tsuo.SDP_SUS_NONE the non-suspended (i.e. active) variant is sent/expected).
.sdp_direction tsuo.SDP_DIR_* If specified, this must be one of the pre-defined SDP Direction Constants.
This value is relevant only if SDP media is expected and SDP suspended is not-suspended.
(Default = tsuo.SDP_DIR_SENDRECV all non-suspended media streams are bi-directional).

Example: See the above example for invite_expect_request.

.invite_expect_decline_ack [Asynchronous]

The invite_expect_decline_ack method will request the TestSipLuaAgent to wait until an inbound SIP INVITE ACK Request message is received, in the context of a previously established inbound or outbound INVITE transaction/dialog which belongs to this Lua script instance. This must be a INVITE ACK suitable for the 300-699 Response sent by us.

The agent will wait up until the expect_secs configured value for a SIP message to arrive. An error will be raised if no message is received in this time. An error will be raised if the received message is not a SIP Reponse, or if the received SIP message is not a INVITE ACK Request message suitable for the 300-699 INVITE Response sent by us.

The invite_expect_decline_ack method takes the following arguments:

Argument Type Description
context Object [Required] The INVITE context, as used for a previous call to invite_send_response with a SIP Status Code in the range 300-699.
extra_headers Array of Object An optional list of extra headers to be tested in the INVITE ACK Request.
Each object in the array must have a name and a value.
If a header is expected to appear more than once, then value may be an Array of String.
.name String The name of the extra header to test for in the INVITE ACK Request.
.value UNDEF or String or Array of String The value of the header to test from the INVITE ACK Request.
The value UNDEF means "test that this header is not present".
A String value means "test" that the first header instance has this value.
An Array of String value means "test that the header exists N times with these values".

Example: A INVITE for which we receive a subsequent CANCEL.
