[sr-dev] Kamailio jwt module or Lua script

[Joey Golan]

I’ve implemented the token verification in Lua script and I’m using app_lua module to call the script from the configuration script inside the [AUTH] block.
It works fine but I want to be sure that I will not face performance degradation.
I’ve used the benchmark module to the log the execution duration. The results shows 130~ microseconds avg.
Do you think it will have impact on performance?
Regarding app_lua, is it running on the same call context or a different one?

Thanks

Hi all,

I would like to authenticate subscribers using JWT tokens and I wonder which approach is better:
1. Writhing a dedicated kamailio module.
2. Writing a Lua script.

What would work better performance wise?

In terms of executing the same Kamailio C function exported to kamailio.cfg routing blocks or to Lua API/kemi, there is not any significant difference.

However, if you execute Lua code written by third party, it is not easy to say if it matches the same performances as an equivalent C function that you write.

You can go with the option you consider faster for development and then see if you are pleased with the results.

Cheers,
Daniel
