It looks like a re-invention of a uuid. Isn't it?
I'd say that using server_id is better approach.

Hello,

wondering if it wouldn't be better to get the hostname once at startup, rather than doing it each time a new cookie is needed.

On the other hand, note that you can set server_id for each kamailio instance to make it uniquely identifiable, which is also important for sruid generator (although that uses random and startup timestamp as well).

Also, sometime the local hostname overlaps, seen lots of servers using just 'www' or 'debian'. So ensuring the uniqueness was shifted to the sysadmins of the network nodes.

Cheers,
Daniel

rtpengine: change cookie to hostname_pid_seqno

- pid_seqno in gencookie() is not a unique identifictor in a multi kamailio setup
