Hi,
We have some SIP UAs behind NAT. It is capable of sending NOTIFY messages to keep NAT binding fresh. I am thinking about two setups and would like to know which one has less hit on ser's performance.
. Register with ser every 150 seconds, assume that most NAT udp binding is 180 seconds. . Send Notify every 50 seconds, the NOTIFY includes the authentication nonce from REGISTER message. So ser can verify that the message is real and send a 200 OK back.
Your option is appreciated.
Since the purpose of NOTIFY messages is just to get some reply from SER and keep the NAT bindings open, I would recommend to put a simple test at the beginning of the configuration file and send 200 OK immediately, something like:
if (method == "NOTIFY" && <some test here>) { sl_send_reply("200", "OK"); break; };
Note that you have to replace <some test here> with something that tests if this is one of the NOTIFYs keeping the NAT open, you could probably test for some particular value in the Request-URI, or something like that. You probably do not want to reply all NOTIFY messages this way.
