Hello, the SIP messages send on UDP/SCTP are received directly from the buffer in kernel one by one, each being processed once read. It is hard to know how many are waiting in the kernel. My question would be, when such information would really help? If kamailio is too busy handling traffic, won't get much time to care of other tasks (e.g., predict what is in network read kernel queue).

Also, is it possible to get a head count by method? or is it only possible after fully parsing the message? I see that "ratelimit" module uses similar information, but I am not sure how to get the status of these queues that the module uses.

Thanks very much. That is the correct answer. just for the record, one can loadmodule "exec" and then use something like: exec_avp("netstat -ul | grep ':sip' | awk '{print $$2}'","$avp(s:test)"); the value of the recv-q is then stored in $avp(s:test) and can be used anywhere Just a side question. I can call "exec_avp" inside my route{} block obviously. I understand that route{} block is entered anytime that there is a message for processing (correct me if wrong), but if, say, I want to check the value of recv-q every 100ms, where in the config script shall I call it and how shall I specify the calling frequency?
