> [Unit]
>> Description=Kamailio (OpenSER) - the Open Source SIP Server
>> After=network.target

> It would be better to change this to:
>
> [Unit]
>> Description=Kamailio (OpenSER) - the Open Source SIP Server
>> Wants=network-online.target
>> After=network-online.target

> Why? With network.target the service starts as soon as the network setup
> is started, not explicitly after configuring (=IP) it [1].
> This creates a race condition on very fast hardware like mine (booting
> incl. all services takes 10s).
>
> Even with static IPs, kamailio often fails directly at boot because eth1
> (connection to DB cluster) is not up.
> [I have never met this problem on systems which ran on HDDs.]
>
> Setting "network-online.target" as Wants + After makes sure, Kamailio is
> started after all interfaces are ready to serve.

> Units that strictly require a configured network connection should pull in
>> network-online.target (via a Wants= type dependency) and order
>> themselves after it. This target unit is intended to pull in a service that
>> delays further execution until the network is sufficiently set up. What
>> precisely this requires is left to the implementation of the network
>> managing service.

> Perfect example for this is the Shorewall package (firewall solution):

> [Unit]
>> Description=Shorewall IPv4 firewall
>> Wants=network-online.target
>> After=network-online.target
>> Conflicts=iptables.service firewalld.service
