Hello, I plan to add some rate limiting in the Kamailio. I'm already using Pike to rate limit based on the source IP. But in this case, i want to do the rate limiting per customer(regardless of the source IP), I can identify the customer based on a custom header in the INVITE, idea is to limit the customer to 'x' number of requests per second.

Actually, I forgot to mention that, I'm looking for a Kamailio module which can do that. I want to avoid doing it on the application level (in perl/python).

The pipelimit module is the solution to all your problems. On 07/13/2016 04:09 AM, NITESH BANSAL wrote:

Hi Alex, I looked at the pipelimit module and apparently it relies on database, for performance reasons, I want to avoid DB looks and want to maintain something in-memory, just like 'Pike' does for source-ip limiting. Is there any way to do that in Kamailio?

I have never used pipelimit with a database. The essence is the ability to pass a dynamic pipe to pl_check() which is created if it doesn't exist. On July 15, 2016 4:59:01 AM EDT, NITESH BANSAL <nitesh.bansal(a)outlook.com> wrote:

Hello, I tried calling the function pl_check , this is how I'm trying to use. $var(check_result) = pl_check("$avp(s:LOGIN)"); This is always returning -2, shouldn't it create a new PIPE next time it receives a message from the same login? I'm using Kamailio 4.1, could that be the difference?

What I really want is something similar to the Pike module, which dynamically controls the traffic based on the source address. In my case, instead of the source address, I need to control traffic based on the LOGIN, there is no way to statically configure the LOGIN, I want the module to treat the LOGINs just like dynamic source addresses. ________________________________ From: sr-users <sr-users-bounces(a)lists.sip-router.org> on behalf of NITESH BANSAL <nitesh.bansal(a)outlook.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2016 10:16:20 AM To: Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [SR-Users] Rate limiting Hello, I tried calling the function pl_check , this is how I'm trying to use. $var(check_result) = pl_check("$avp(s:LOGIN)"); This is always returning -2, shouldn't it create a new PIPE next time it receives a message from the same login?

Finally I got it working. The issue was that I was trying to use pikelimit with Kamailio version 4.1, 4.1 version doesn't allow for dynamic pipe creation. In the end, I backported pipelimit code from Kamailio version 4.2 and used pl_check function to create dynamic pipes. ________________________________ From: sr-users <sr-users-bounces(a)lists.sip-router.org> on behalf of NITESH BANSAL <nitesh.bansal(a)outlook.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2016 10:22:14 AM To: Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [SR-Users] Rate limiting What I really want is something similar to the Pike module, which dynamically controls the traffic based on the source address.

Hi Alex, http://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/4.4.x/modules/ratelimit.html is another approach here. Tried it as a proof of concept recently and it seems to do its job. Seems like pipelimit is derived from ratelimit. What's the main difference from ratelimit, other than named pipes and DB support? What's the purpose of the DB support of pipelimit? Does it cache its values and can be reloaded from DB on demand (I don't see an rpc command for that)? That would be really valuable. Andreas On 08/29/2016 05:39 PM, Alex Balashov wrote:

Hello, the pipelimit aims to be more dynamic, while dropping the queues concepts of ratelimit, given those can be done with IF conditions inside kamailio.cfg. In ratelimit, the pipes are defined as parameters, with some limits in the number of pipes as well as constrained to integer ids for pipes. Pipelimit can load the definitions of pipes from database, making it easier to provision via some gui. It doesn't store back anything, given that even few seconds of shutdown will invalidate the pipes counters. Moreover, the pipes can be created on the fly, they don't have to be defined in advance via db or parameters. You can load the limit and algorithm from a user profile and then just use them as parameter with the username as pipe id parameter and you get a new pipe created at that moment if there is none with same id.

Hello, hash_size would be a parameter related to performances of searching a pipe. The size of shared memory is relevant also relevant in you have a very large amount of pipes. Cheers, Daniel On 31.07.17 16:10, John Petrini wrote:

HI All, What's everyone's experience with pipelimit regarding performance? Say we set dynamic pipes base on au and source ip? This would result in thousands of pipes would it not? Is this going to put a substantial load on the server? Are there other settings that should be tweaked when implementing it such as memory limits etc?
