Re: Dispatcher sets IP flag on servers even though SIP OPTIONS receive 200 OK

Indeed they are transmissions. The <<< and >>> indicate that in the
screenshot (and the timestamps of the messages also strongly suggest it).

The responses come on the network, but kamailio/dispatcher is not getting
them. Maybe they don't even get to kamailio (wrong UDP checksum, for
example), maybe kamailio is dropping them (they're malformed or the Via is
wrecked, for example) or maybe your config file is somehow dropping them.
Maybe even it's something else.

With a pcap file, we may be able to narrow these multiple possibilities.
