Hello,

in general, kamailio modules reuse the connection if the target is the same database server and database name. That makes it like one connection to database server per kamailio process.

However, there are some modules that may request a dedicated database connection, not willing to reuse with other modules (iirc, some of the presence related modules should need it).

Then note that there are more processed than the value of children and the relation with the listen socket, for example timer processes.

You can execute 'kamctl ps' and you will get the list of the processes created by kamailio with a short description about their purposes.

In other words, there is no exact formula, what we can do is to check if you got the expected number of connections, for that you have to provide:

  * the output of 'kamctl srv sockets'
  * the output of 'kamctl ps'
  * the list of loaded modules (enabled loadmodule lines in the config)
  * after that, we may need extra details, like the values for some modparams set for couple of modules(like db_url, sqlcon, ...)

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,

Is there a formula/algorithm that determines how many TCP connections are made per child process to a database server defined by sqlops' sqlcon parameter?

ex: if i have 1 database on a database server defined by sqlcon, and i have 1 UDP child process, i notice that the child process has made 2 TCP connections to the database server.

ex: if i have 3 databases on the same database server defined by 3 sqlcon statements (1 pertaining to each database) and i have 4 UDP child processes, i notice that each child process makes 4 TCP connections to the database server.

ex: if i have 3 databases on the same database server defined by 3 sqlcon statements (1 pertaining to each database) and i have 6 TCP child processes, i notice that each child process makes 4 TCP connections to the database server.

Basically wanting to know what governs the number of tcp connections a child process makes to a particular database server.

Thank you,

Karthik
