I think info from all comments in this thread must be included in cookbook. Without such layer, without conceptual things it not 'book', just remarks on fields.

Please tell me what's missing from that page and I'll update. I don't see anything missing myself, but I could be documentation-blind, having spent so much time with it.

What is $avp? What is $var? Whats the difference between that things? When I need use $avp? When I need use $var?

Blackhole: concept model. Look, I spent more than month and make too little, 'cause two things: no concept model + megatons of outdated examples.

More than month. Any other system already would work. For example freeswitch. But I believe than Kamailio - has higher potential. Make less level of occurrence. Write good documentation. Existing is catastrophically incomplete.

Main question "How it work?" had partially answer for modules and no answer at all on whole system.

These two are clearly answered

Whats the difference between that things? When I need use $avp? When I need use $var?

These needs to be worked on.

OK, thanks for the feedback! Very useful.

We will certainly look into this. There are trainings, but no books and very few guides on the web. Please feel free to contribute, after all it is Open Source and we depend on community contributions in order to get documentation written.

Have a great weekend. /O

OK, i think any function need examples. Not for call only, but for use result.

radius_load_callee_avps(callee)

I see in doc:

radius_load_callee_avps("$rU@$rd"); # take callee from Request-URI

I call this function, but where are results? How can i check errors, where i must look results? In which avps?

В Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:34:11 +0300 Juha Heinanen jh@tutpro.com пишет:

as the name of the function indicates, the result is in the avps. if the function call fails, result value will be -1 as usual and you get error message to syslog.

in which avps?

kk, radius answer:

Session-Timeout = '4284860' next-hop-ip = 'SIP/111111111@cisco-out' session-protocol = 'SIP'

how i can access to reply?

В Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:46:34 +0200 "Olle E. Johansson" oej@edvina.net пишет:

All functions of this module load AVPs from SIP-AVP reply items received from RADIUS upon a successful request. Value of the SIP-AVP reply item must be a string of form:

• value = SIP_AVP_NAME SIP_AVP_VALUE

• SIP_AVP_NAME = STRING_NAME | '#'ID_NUMBER

• SIP_AVP_VALUE = ':'STRING_VALUE | '#'NUMBER_VALUE

sorry its not clear for me.

$avp('next-hop-ip') is ok in my case? Or i need _special_ radius answer?

Not so "special" .. You need to add SIP-AVP attributes to an access-accept reply from radius. As I remember this attribute must be declared somewhere in dictionary.openser.

bad news for me. radius already work with other systems and all of them receive standart response like described.

That is a general - and highly valid - objection to the state of Kamailio documentation. By and large, it's a reference, with no conceptual glue, in narrative form, or methodological instruction. There is only information on how to do X, not what X is or why you would want to do it.

We are trying to change that. Progress is slow, undeniably.

Hi!

whats difference $var() and $avp()?

$var() - is bound to a kamailio process. If you set $var(xxx) for a one request/reply, it will be available during processing other messages.

Right - but only in that process.

/O

You can have arrays of $vars too, though that is probably not what you meant by "stacks".

There's a whole set of differences.

• $var is stored in process memory.

• $avp is stored in transactions (in shared memory), so if you set them

while processing a request you have them when processing responses and failures.

• avp's are stacks, so you can store a set of data in them, not just

one value.

You can find out more details in the core cookbok on the web site.

is memory freeing automatically or i need to do it myself?

When the transaction dies, the AVPs associated with it are released and the bits are reused.

Kamailio is environmentally friendly, with a green logotype :-)

/O

Use $var when you want to manipulate values inside a route block, for example, when you want to store a value that will live only in the scope of that route block. When the route block exits, it will be automatically deallocated.

Use $avp when you want to store a value that you want to read anywhere. It will live as long as the SIP transaction lives.

- $var is stored in private memory, it is per process. This means that only the process that created it can read it. - $avp is stored in shared memory. It can be accessed from any process in kamailio's process list (childs)

- $var has local route block scope. - $avp has SIP transaction scope.

- Both $avp and $var are automatically freed.
