Hi,

there is the examples directory, not very much activity there though: http://openser.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openser/trunk/examples/

Dispatcher has a simple config in the doc folder of the module and another one linked in the dokuwiki: http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php

A better indexing would be welcome, perhaps a good place is now: http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/cfg-scripts-bank:main-index

As a startup tutorial, there is the Getting Started guide: http://siprouter.teigre.com/doc/gettingstarted/

It focuses on ser but gives a good overview of the architecture and starting point. In the context of http://sip-router.org will become again actual after some updates.

Yet another good book to understand internals is the devel guide: http://www.asipto.com/pub/kamailio-devel-guide/

Anyhow, more docs are always welcome...

Regards, Ramona

Hello, As someone new to the OpenSER/Kamailio/OpenSIPS world I can attest to the need to have fairly robust example config files. I put together an "OK" configuration file which Daniel was nice enough to polish up for me. While the core and module documentation is fantastic, it is difficult to put all the pieces together at the beginning.

Something that would be VERY useful in my opinion is to provide 3 or 4 example files, each with a different general functionality.

Perhaps an LCR example, a Dispatcher example, a Registrar example, etc.

The point would be to provide simple concise flows which would be easy to read, study, and eventually expand upon (or combine) to suite the needs of the users particular network and deployment.

I would be happy to provide my configuration as the 'simple dispatcher /w failover'.

thanks, Geoff

Hi,

looking at the default config file, we deliver something pretty useless and very insecure.

I propose to add to it several features so it becomes really usable:

• mysql support - even some use radius for aaa, mysql is for sure used

for usrloc. Those using other db drivers can just replace the module

• auth against db and check auth username against from/to username to

avoid spoofing

• accounting - at least to syslog to store more than default data which

gives nothing useful right now. Thinking to from/ruri username and domain at least in order to have caller and callee details

• usrloc to database
• nat traversal support with nathelper and rtpproxy - if rtpproxy is not

running, will be just warnings at startup

• the first part of the config will have some help of how to configure

the environment to start the sip server (e.g., add user, ...)

What do you think?

loooking at it from the merged sip-router perspective, I rather recommend oob. All the things you are mentioning and actually many more are in there including configuration facilities for debian.

thanks for suggestion. It could be too complex for startup, however, I see default ser.cfg comes now with mysql enabled, as well (for auth, ...). What is missing from what I was looking for in the first place is the nat traversal.
