Hi, some questions about LCR module ping mechanism:
- How to know which gws are down? The only I see is a NOTICE log:
---------
NOTICE:lcr:gw_set_state: trunk "99.99.99.99:5060" from group: <2> is
OFFLINE
---------
Is not possible a MI command to list the down gateways?
- Why ping_interval cannot be less than 180 seconds?
- In case of failure_route and "next_gw()", is the used gw (failing gw)
automatically marked as down? (it would be useful so we don't need to
wait "fr_timer" seconds for each request during "ping_interval").
Thanks.

I see in the code:
-----------------
if (ping_interval < DEF_PING_TIMER) {
ping_interval = DEF_PING_TIMER;
LM_DBG("set OPTIONS timer to default value <%d>\n", DEF_PING_TIMER);
}
---------------
I see no reason for so big minimun value. I need this value being 5-10
seconds.

Hello Iñaki,
you should ask Alexandr he has introdused this feature with rev5452,
but I'm not sure if he is on the lists all the time, so I'll forward your
question
to him...
regards,
Andreas

Unfortunatelly I've checked that this is not true, the gateway is not
automatically set as "offline" when t_relay fails or when "next_gw" is
again
called.
Suggestion: it would be really great if "next_gw" automatically sets as down
the previous used gw (since it didn't success). Or perhaps a new
function "mark_previous_gw_offline()" which could be manually called
before "next_gw()".
Opinions?

i think there is currently no information left about previous gw (it is
removed from the avp). either it would need to be stored to another avp or
the marking function would need to be given the ip address of the
previous gw as argument.

lcr_gw_dump should include information if gw is down:
p = int2str((unsigned long)(*gws)[i].ping, &len);
attr = add_mi_attr(node, MI_DUP_VALUE, "PING", 4, p, len);
if (attr == NULL) goto err;
value 2 is offline.

it might be possible to write a function that you could call
(from failure route) to mark the current gw offline.

Before relaying, the script can check the availability of the gw and

Well, there is already a param "pin_interval" to set the... ping interval. But
for now ifyou set a value less than 180 then it is set to 180.
IMHO it makes no sense having both parameters:
- ping_interval = 100
- max_ping_interval = 80
XD
Or/and a function that will return the status of a particular gw.
Before relaying, the script can check the availability of the gw and
call the next_gw() if neccessary.
That's already done by "load_gws()" function. It only loads gws marked as
active.
What I mean is that setting online/offline is done when the ping
successes/fails, and it would be nice to set a gw as "offline" manually after
failure_route and so (without the need of waiting the ping action to be
executed, which could take many seconds yet).
Regards.

if gw could be marked dead from failure route, i don't see much point in
pinging the gws, because invite would be the ping.

inaki,
in a typical case, if ping interval is, say, 10 seconds, and fr_timer, say
3 seconds, i fail to see any big advantage in pinging the gws provided
that if fr_timer fires, there is a possibility to mark the gw as being
dead.
i'll try to implement this as an alternative/complement for the pinging
for the next release.

how about waking a gw up from death? there could be a timestamp telling
when a gw died and then a module parameter telling how long to wait
before the gw is tried again. that way there would be no need for a
timer process.

ok, that's exactly what I was thinking about. I will try it.
