Hello,

not sure why you think that the ims_ipsec_pcscf module is listening only on UDP. It seems to be also listening on TCP:

//add listen interfaces for IPv4 if(add_listen_iface(addr4, NULL, ipsec_client_port + i, PROTO_TCP, 0) != 0) { LM_ERR("Error adding listen ipsec client TCP interface for IPv4\n"); return -1; }

if(add_listen_iface(addr4, NULL, ipsec_server_port + i, PROTO_TCP, 0) != 0) { LM_ERR("Error adding listen ipsec server TCP interface for IPv4\n"); return -1; }

if(add_listen_iface(addr4, NULL, ipsec_client_port + i, PROTO_UDP, 0) != 0) { LM_ERR("Error adding listen ipsec client UDP interface for IPv4\n"); return -1; }

if(add_listen_iface(addr4, NULL, ipsec_server_port + i, PROTO_UDP, 0) != 0) { LM_ERR("Error adding listen ipsec server UDP interface for IPv4\n"); return -1; }

Cheers,

Henning

Hi to all,

I am interested in the implementation of IPsec module. When I run Kamailio, it is creating processes based on the below formulate:

UDP children * IPSEC_MAX_CONN * interfaces (v4 and v6) + (TCP+UD) processes for each interface.

For example:

children = 16 tcp_children=16 IPSEC_MAX_CONN = 25 and two interface : IPv6 and V4

Kamailio process count = (16 * 25 * 2 ) + 16 + 16 = 832

But why IPsec module is listening to UDP not TCP? this is an internal connection?

Thank you.
