Error when sending NOTIFYs to disconnected websocket clients
by Flavio Grossi 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

Hi, i have some SIP websocket clients (built using the SIP.js library) SUBSCRIBEd to other clients via kamailio v5.8.2. If one of the watchers suddenly disappears (e.g. the web page is reloaded), another connection is made and a new watcher appears in kamailio without the old one disappearing. For example: # kamctl rpc presence.watcher_list basic sip:1001@example.voismart.com { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": [ { "pres_uri": "sip:1001@example.com", "to_user": "1001", "watcher_user": "1000", "contact": "sip:1000@mfp0h2dhhmq2.invalid;transport=ws;alias=192.168.56.10~34166~5", "callid": "1o9b499kj6l65if0p30t", "user_agent": "sip.js/1.12.1", "expires": 1736422494, ... }, { "pres_uri": "sip:1001@example.com", "to_user": "1001", "watcher_user": "1000", "contact": "sip:1000@0j7qoabnv827.invalid;transport=ws;alias=192.168.56.10~34156~5", "callid": "8mjhrqifgm39up9t2qq3", "user_agent": "sip.js/1.12.1", "expires": 1736422492, ... } ], "id": 11753 } you can see the duplicated watcher in which the old connection is now invalid because the websocket client disappeared. In this situation, issuing a pres_refresh_watchers() call will fail to send any notify (even to the valid connection) because of this error: WARNING: <core> [core/msg_translator.c:3007]: via_builder(): TCP/TLS connection (id: 0) for WebSocket could not be found ERROR: tm [t_msgbuilder.c:1423]: assemble_via(): via building failed ERROR: tm [t_msgbuilder.c:1614]: build_uac_req(): error while assembling Via ERROR: tm [uac.c:552]: t_uac_prepare(): Error while building message ERROR: presence [notify.c:1734]: send_notify_request(): in function tm t_request_within() ERROR: presence [notify.c:1829]: notify(): sending Notify not successful ERROR: presence [notify.c:1585]: query_db_notify(): Could not send notify for [event]=dialog ERROR: presence [presence.c:739]: pres_refresh_watchers(): sending Notify requests in which the building of the notify message fails because it cannot find a valid connection when building the via header. Is this a wanted behaviour? shouldn't it just fail the sending of the single message? Is there anything i can do to fix this? Trying to reproduce the same problem with a regular tcp client, it seems that the other notifys are correctly sent and only a timeout error is sent for the single message: ERROR: <core> [core/tcp_main.c:4622]: handle_tcpconn_ev(): connect 192.168.56.10:21994 failed which i think is the correct behaviour. Related question: is it possible to remove active watchers when the connection goes down? Thanks for the help on this.

Performance issues with KEMI
by Daniel W. Graham 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

Testing out KEMI functionality and running into performance issues. If I exceed 150 calls per second the network receive queue grows and Kamailio is unable to keep up with requests and they begin dropping. KEMI script for testing is just doing a stateless reply to invites. Using python3s module. I've played with Kamailio child processes and memory allocations, but there is no impact. I've also attempted some buffer / memory tweaking at the OS level, again with no impact. Increasing CPU cores and even running the test on bare metal results in the same. Example of receive queue at 150 calls per second - Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port udp UNCONN 337280 0 x.x.x.x:5060 Just wondering if anyone has experienced similar issues or has an example of the performance they are seeing before I continue down this path. Thanks, - dan

Need help with serial branching using: t_load_contacts(1)
by Benoît Panizzon 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

Hi Gang I guess, I don't completely understand who to properly perform serial branching. I did try to follow the examples from: https://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/modules/tm.html#tm.f.t_next_con… This is, stripped down, the relevant config used. modparam("tm", "contacts_avp", "tm_contacts") modparam("tm", "contact_flows_avp", "tm_contact_flows") route[LOCATION] { lookup_to_dset("location", "$var(lookupuri)"); if (!t_load_contacts(1)) { xlog("L_ERR", "$cfg(route): ######### load_contacts failed\n"); sl_send_reply("500", "Server Internal Error - Cannot load contacts"); exit; } xlog("L_INFO", "$cfg(route): Contacts loaded: $cnt($xavp(tm_contacts))\n"); => Confirms, there is more than one contact loaded. if (!t_next_contacts()) { send_reply("480", "Not registered"); } t_set_fr(5000,1500); # Set 5 second timeout for LAB testing to quickly try the next contact. t_on_branch("BR_TO_CUST"); t_on_branch_failure("BR_TO_CUST_FAILURE"); exit; } event_route[tm:branch-failure:BR_TO_CUST_FAILURE] { xlog("BRANCH FAILED $T_reply_code to $rm message\n"); t_on_branch("BR_TO_CUST"); t_on_branch_failure("BR_TO_CUST_FAILURE"); if (t_next_contact_flow()) { xlog("BRANCH FAILED, Try Next\n"); t_relay(); } else { xlog("L_INFO", "No more flows\n"); t_reply("408", "Branch Timeout"); exit; } } What happens is: INVITE is sent to the first contact, who is replying RINGING. After 5 seconds the timeout is reached and the branch-failure route engaged. Jan 17 15:01:15 dev-cpereg01 kamailio[3599432]: ERROR: <script>: BRANCH FAILED 408 to INVITE message Jan 17 15:01:15 dev-cpereg01 kamailio[3599432]: INFO: <script>: No more flows Jan 17 15:01:15 dev-cpereg01 kamailio[3599432]: CRITICAL: tm [tm.c:1554]: ki_t_reply(): w_t_reply entered in unsupported mode To my understanding, t_next_contact_flow() should have loaded the next ds, but this does not seem to happen.

Asynchttp failover
by Sergio Charrua 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Hello all! just wondering if anyone knows a good way to failover with the HTTP Async module. The standard HTTP Client module (synchronous) does implement some nice functionalities for failover between URL addresses, but the HTTP Async doesn't have any failover functionality... I have implemented some functions (within kamailio.cfg) for failover upon HTTP requests, but despite it working fine, it would be better to have that functionality on the HTTP Async module, just like HTTP Client has... Any technical reason for HTTP Async module not having failover functionalities? Atenciosamente / Kind Regards / Cordialement / Un saludo, *Sérgio Charrua*

Module snmpstats reporting inconsistent call success metrics on intense peaks of failed calls
by Igor Potjevlesch 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Hello! We are plotting the call success rate on each of our proxies. Using the Kamailio snmpstats module, we try to obtain three counters to plot them on a graph: Total Calls Active Calls Error Calls Most of the time, everything works well, and we obtain sensible values: snmpwalk -c mycommunity -v 2c W.X.Y.Z 1.3.6.1.4.1.34352.3.1.3.1.3.2 -O n .1.3.6.1.4.1.34352.3.1.3.1.3.2.1.0 = Gauge32: 309 -> Total Calls .1.3.6.1.4.1.34352.3.1.3.1.3.2.2.0 = Gauge32: 95 -> Active Calls .1.3.6.1.4.1.34352.3.1.3.1.3.2.3.0 = Gauge32: 214 -> Error calls However, when our proxies are facing intense peaks of failed calls in a short time span, sometimes, the "Error Calls" counter returns a value higher than "Total Calls". As a result, "Active Calls" suddenly reaches a value close to the maximum of a Gauge32 (because T o t a l C a l l s − E r r o r C a l l s < 0 ). snmpwalk -c mycommunity -v 2c W.X.Y.Z 1.3.6.1.4.1.34352.3.1.3.1.3.2 -O n .1.3.6.1.4.1.34352.3.1.3.1.3.2.1.0 = Gauge32: 153 -> Total Calls .1.3.6.1.4.1.34352.3.1.3.1.3.2.2.0 = Gauge32: 4294967226 -> Active Calls .1.3.6.1.4.1.34352.3.1.3.1.3.2.3.0 = Gauge32: 223 -> Error calls As a result, our graphs make no more sense. We are currently running kamailio 5.6.4. Any idea if it's a bug or a configuration issue? Regards, Igor. -- Cet e-mail a été vérifié par le logiciel antivirus d'Avast. www.avast.com

Branching 6.0 series
by Daniel-Constantin Mierla 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Hello, I am trying to figure out what would be the best date to branch 6.0 in the git repo. To allow a bit of time after returning from the winter holidays to tune more the cmake and packaging, I would think that January 15, 2025 could be a good choice. If nobody comes with other opinions/suggestions, then we will go for it.

ims_diameter_server not freeing shared memory
by marpett365＠gmail.com 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

Hi, I have run in to an issue when sending diameter requests using the ims_diameter_server module. Shared memory keeps increasing and are not being freed until restart of kamailio. This leads to all shared memory is being used and no more are able to be allocated. This only happens when the request is sent synchronously. When sent asynchronously shared memory is being freed as far as I can see. have anyone ran into this issue and found a remedy or can give some pointers how to proceed? Following functions have been used for sending requests. diameter_request([peer], appid, commandcode, message) diameter_request_async([peer], appid, commandcode, message) route[CHECK_LOCATION] { diameter_request("hss.ims.test.local", "16777217", "306", "[ " + "{ \"avpCode\":260, \"vendorId\":0, \"Flags\":64, \"list\":[ { \"avpCode\":266, \"vendorId\":0, \"Flags\":64, \"int32\":10415 }, { \"avpCode\":258, \"vendorId\":0, \"Flags\":64, \"int32\":16777217 } ] }, " + "{ \"avpCode\":277, \"vendorId\":0, \"Flags\":64, \"int32\":1 }, " + "{ \"avpCode\":283, \"vendorId\":0, \"Flags\":64, \"string\":\"ims.test.local\"}, " + "{ \"avpCode\":706, \"vendorId\":10415, \"Flags\":192, \"int32\":0 }, " + "{ \"avpCode\":700, \"vendorId\":10415, \"Flags\":192, \"list\": [ { \"avpCode\":601, \"vendorId\":10415, \"Flags\":192, \"string\":\"tel:" + $fU + "\" }]}, " + "{ \"avpCode\":707, \"vendorId\":10415, \"Flags\":192, \"int32\":0 }, " + "{ \"avpCode\":703, \"vendorId\":10415, \"Flags\":192, \"int32\":14 } ]"); xlog("L_INFO", "Sent Diameter request"); } Shared memory after restart kamcmd mod.stats cdp shm Module: cdp { save_peer_applications(779): 144 make_send_pipe(126): 320 dp_add_pid(92): 216 AAAAddRequestHandler(69): 40 cb_add(183): 8 cb_add(177): 32 cdp_sessions_init(178): 8 cdp_sessions_init(173): 8 cdp_sessions_init(165): 1024 cdp_sessions_init(157): 3072 cdp_sessions_init(149): 8 cdp_trans_init(67): 8 cdp_trans_init(60): 24 add_timer(150): 24 add_timer(145): 144 new_peer(77): 16 new_peer(75): 16 new_peer(72): 16 new_peer(69): 80 new_peer(66): 96 new_peer(60): 384 peer_manager_init(84): 8 peer_manager_init(83): 8 peer_manager_init(82): 8 peer_manager_init(79): 8 peer_manager_init(76): 16 worker_init(101): 16 worker_init(94): 128 worker_init(89): 32 worker_init(87): 32 worker_init(84): 8 worker_init(82): 48 timer_cdp_init(182): 8 timer_cdp_init(179): 16 diameter_peer_init_real(137): 8 diameter_peer_init_real(131): 16 diameter_peer_init_real(122): 16 diameter_peer_init_real(115): 8 diameter_peer_init_real(108): 8 diameter_peer_init_real(101): 8 diameter_peer_init_real(94): 8 new_routing_entry(88): 64 parse_dp_config(447): 16 parse_dp_config(348): 8 parse_dp_config(340): 16 parse_dp_config(333): 40 parse_dp_config(326): 144 quote_trim_dup(96): 456 new_dp_config(52): 184 Total: 7024 } Shared memory after 10 diameter requests Module: cdp { save_peer_applications(779): 144 AAACreateAVP(137): 5072 AAATranslateMessage(500): 1320 do_receive(600): 7392 make_send_pipe(126): 320 dp_add_pid(92): 216 AAAAddRequestHandler(69): 40 cb_add(183): 8 cb_add(177): 32 cdp_sessions_init(178): 8 cdp_sessions_init(173): 8 cdp_sessions_init(165): 1024 cdp_sessions_init(157): 3072 cdp_sessions_init(149): 8 cdp_trans_init(67): 8 cdp_trans_init(60): 24 add_timer(150): 24 add_timer(145): 144 new_peer(77): 16 new_peer(75): 16 new_peer(72): 16 new_peer(69): 80 new_peer(66): 96 new_peer(60): 384 peer_manager_init(84): 8 peer_manager_init(83): 8 peer_manager_init(82): 8 peer_manager_init(79): 8 peer_manager_init(76): 16 worker_init(101): 16 worker_init(94): 128 worker_init(89): 32 worker_init(87): 32 worker_init(84): 8 worker_init(82): 48 timer_cdp_init(182): 8 timer_cdp_init(179): 16 diameter_peer_init_real(137): 8 diameter_peer_init_real(131): 16 diameter_peer_init_real(122): 16 diameter_peer_init_real(115): 8 diameter_peer_init_real(108): 8 diameter_peer_init_real(101): 8 diameter_peer_init_real(94): 8 new_routing_entry(88): 64 parse_dp_config(447): 16 parse_dp_config(348): 8 parse_dp_config(340): 16 parse_dp_config(333): 40 parse_dp_config(326): 144 quote_trim_dup(96): 456 new_dp_config(52): 184 Total: 20808 } Shared memory after 170k requests do_receive(600): 131363752 AAATranslateMessage(500): 32326656 AAACreateAVP(137): 110067152 Total: 273764840 Br Martin
