[SR-Users] How to reduce re-INVITE time in Kamailio

Wed Dec 18 07:30:16 CET 2019

@Henning Westerholt
So I loaded the sst.so module and setup the params it said to set like
below:

*modparam("dialog", "timeout_avp", "$avp(i:10)")# Set the sst modules
timeout_avp to be the same valuemodparam("sst", "timeout_avp",
"$avp(i:10)")modparam("sst", "min_se", 10)*

and also set the flag in INVITE method in *request_route* {}

*        # account only INVITEs        if (is_method("INVITE")) {
      setflag(FLT_ACC); # do accounting                setflag(5);        }*

and also set the  *t_set_retr* in *route*{}

*route {        dlg_manage();        t_set_retr(10, 0);        if
(is_method("BYE")) {                $var(elapsed) = ( $Ts - $dlg(start_ts)
);                xlog ("L_INFO", "Completed $dlg(from_uri) to $dlg(to_uri)
-                $var(elapsed) duration");        }}*

but still I am getting the INVITE after  57-59 seconds later. How do I do
this?
