Hello,

this sounds either like a limitation that should be documentation in the module readme, or a small bug that could be fixed. You could open an issue on our tracker about it, or even better, submit a pull request.

Cheers,

Henning

Greetings,

I've been using the pipelimit module and the pl_check function to control users rates in my proxy.

if (!pl_check("$var(UserID)", "TAILDROP", "$var(UserRate)")) { pl_drop(); exit; }

In this case $var(UserID) is the pipe and $var(UserRate) is the maximum rate. The value of the rate is retrieved on every call via query to a DB.

If I change the UserRate value to 0 CPS on the DB calls are not rejected unless they go over 1 CPS. However, if I restart Kamailio all calls are correctly rejected.

Why does this happen? Can I change this behaviour?

Cheers,

Duarte

Hello,

Looks like a small issue with the module. An issue could be opened about it, or even better, a pull request with some improvement.

Hi,

I faced the same behavior with pipelimit and solved it for me with cfg_rpc variable that I raised or lowered to my needs.
