If transaction relies on tcp stack than it could depend on whether firewall dropped or rejected connections in your initial case. As for "UDP with a random port" it was most probably icmp rejected. 2017-08-28 14:30 GMT+03:00 Olle E. Johansson <notifications(a)github.com>om>: -- Best regards, Alekzander Spiridonov

What happened was that the firewall closed the TCP connection after a while, Kamailio continued sending but got dropped. -- You are receiving this because you commented. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/issues/1220#issuecomment-325330425

After fixing the firewall we still have issues. I see the TCP keepalives coming, but replication stopped, no SIP messages flowing and tm.stats has a big pile of open transactions, no more shm memory available. Current and waiting seems to follow each other. No calls during the night, so this is only registrations. 300 devices connected. I will have to go back to replication over UDP or stateless replication using forward to get stability. ``` # kamcmd tm.stats { current: 19965 waiting: 19965 total: 42187 total_local: 0 rpl_received: 42207 rpl_generated: 10 rpl_sent: 42211 6xx: 0 5xx: 1 4xx: 4 3xx: 0 2xx: 42191 created: 42187 freed: 22221 delayed_free: 0 } ``` -- You are receiving this because you commented.

I tried to reproduce using master, but all ok. Based on default kamailio.cfg, I have added t_replicate_tcp: ``` # Handle SIP registrations route[REGISTRAR] { if (!is_method("REGISTER")) return; if(isflagset(FLT_NATS)) { setbflag(FLB_NATB); #!ifdef WITH_NATSIPPING # do SIP NAT pinging setbflag(FLB_NATSIPPING); #!endif } if (!save("location")) { sl_reply_error(); } t_replicate_tcp("127.0.0.1", 9); exit; } ``` In logs I get: ``` 39(81014) ERROR: <core> [core/tcp_main.c:4135]: handle_tcpconn_ev(): connect 127.0.0.1:9 failed ``` and after a while (delete wait time) transaction is cleaned: ``` 25(81000) DEBUG: tm [t_reply.c:1263]: t_should_relay_response(): ->>>>>>>>> T_code=0, new_code=408 25(81000) DEBUG: tm [t_reply.c:2072]: local_reply(): branch=0, save=0, winner=0 25(81000) DEBUG: tm [t_reply.c:2111]: local_reply(): local transaction completed 408/0 (totag retr: 0/0) 26(81001) DEBUG: tm [h_table.c:129]: free_cell_helper(): freeing transaction 0x105712170 from timer.c:651 ``` `tm.stats` showing 0 current transactions.

No strange tm modparams: ``` # ----- tm params ----- # auto-discard branches from previous serial forking leg modparam("tm", "failure_reply_mode", 3) # default retransmission timeout: 30sec modparam("tm", "fr_timer", 30000) # default invite retransmission timeout after 1xx: 120sec modparam("tm", "fr_inv_timer", 120000) modparam("tm", "retr_timer1", 100) modparam("tm", "retr_timer2", 4000) ``` After the TCP problems started, we added som tcp params to the config, just to verify the settings. Mostly default. ``` tcp_connection_lifetime=3200 tcp_accept_no_cl=yes # Maximum write queue. If this is reached, the connection is killed. tcp_conn_wq_max=10000 # Enables keepalive for tcp (sets SO_KEEPALIVE socket option) tcp_keepalive = yes # Time before starting to send keepalives, if the connection is idle (TCP_KEEPIDLE socket option). Linux only. # Seconds tcp_keepidle = 10 # Number of keepalives sent before dropping the connection (TCP_KEEPCNT socket option). Linux only. tcp_keepcnt = 20 # Time interval between keepalive probes, when the previous probe failed (TCP_KEEPINTVL socket option). Linux only. # Seconds tcp_keepintvl = 20 # Time in seconds after a TCP connection will be closed if it is not available for writing in this # interval (and Kamailio wants to send something on it). Lower this value for faster detection of broken # TCP connections. The default value is 10s. tcp_send_timeout=10 # Number of SYN retransmissions before aborting a connect attempt (see linux tcp(7) TCP_SYNCNT).

Started test 12:42, all seems quiet and current goes up and down around 20. At 13:14 it begins to climb again, so around 30 minutes quiet. We have two-minute registration timeouts, so at the time it starts running astray we have processed 6762 transactions. All over UDP. -- You are receiving this because you commented.

There is something fishy going on here. I removed t_replicate and the server has been running for six days without getting into trouble. However when I run kamcmd tm.stats there are 767 waiting transactions, not freed. It's a very basic configuration using the dialog module, the dialog event routes. A few calls, but not much over the weekend. I will try to debug a big harder and find out where these come from. T_replicate really forced the issue and the server bogged down quickly, but it seems like ordinary calls also get transactions that hang around. That's not good. ``` { current: 780 waiting: 767 total: 792 total_local: 0 rpl_received: 1389 rpl_generated: 339 rpl_sent: 1514 6xx: 4 5xx: 285 4xx: 172 3xx: 0 2xx: 519 created: 792 freed: 11 delayed_free: 0 } ``` -- You are receiving this because you commented.

I couldn't find a reason after looking around, likely something is triggered at some point, in certain conditions. As a workaround, I am considering to add a hard cleanup on timer to the transactions that leave too long after lifetime, with a log message to gather some useful information for troubleshooting. If you can still get the output for gdb script on such transactions is still useful. -- You are receiving this because you commented.

I will try installing latest branch. This is the current stats, something is definitely keeping transactions open. ``` # kamcmd tm.stats { current: 5060 waiting: 5055 total: 5065 total_local: 0 rpl_received: 5415 rpl_generated: 266 rpl_sent: 5543 6xx: 1 5xx: 4614 4xx: 53 3xx: 0 2xx: 447 created: 5065 freed: 4 delayed_free: 0 } # kamcmd core.uptime { now: Mon Sep 18 09:39:51 2017 up_since: Tue Sep 12 12:12:25 2017 uptime: 509246 } ``` -- You are receiving this because you commented.
