Re: Error: ACK without matching transaction

I assume your ACK is for a 2xx final response to INVITE (same Call-ID, same
CSeq=2, To has a tag).  t_check_trans() only matches ACKs for non-2xx
replies (class 3 to 6 error codes). Hence it returns false

If it’s an ACK for non-2xx then stateful forward using the existing
transaction (t_check_trans() will return true then call t_relay()).
If it’s an ACK for 2xx then loose-route it and relay statelessly (RR/dialog
routing), not via t_check_trans().

This is what my code looks like. Hope this helps!

route[WITHINDLG] {
    if (is_method("ACK")) {
        if (t_check_trans()) {
            # ACK to non-2xx (3xx–6xx) -> stateful
            t_relay();
        } else {
            # ACK to 2xx -> separate transaction -> route via RR set
            if (loose_route()) {
                route(RELAY);
            } else {
                # fallback: if you have dialog module
                # route via dialog or dst_uri as appropriate
                route(RELAY);
            }
        }
        exit;
    }

   [... Do some more voodoo mambo jambo here ...]

    if (loose_route()) {
        route(RELAY);
        exit;
    }

    sl_send_reply("404", "Not here");
    exit;
}
