[SR-Users] Kamailio stop to process incoming SIP traffic via TCP.

Hi Daniel,

Tks for the tips.

My traffic does include TLS as well.

For TCP settings:

tcp_connection_lifetime=3600
tcp_async=yes
tcp_rd_buf_size=16384
tcp_accept_no_cl=yes
tcp_max_connections=50000
tcp_connect_timeout=7

For TLS:
enable_tls=yes
tls_max_connections=50000

I'm using "set_forward_no_connect();" after lookup(location) since a long
time.

I have added this week "set_reply_no_connect();" in case it will help to
avoid the issue.

If the issue occurs, I will try to get something via "kamctrl trap".

In order to get a coredump (on restart timeout?) I have added this in
my kamailio.service

WorkingDirectory=/var/run/kamailio
LimitCORE=infinity

I have also DUMP_CORE=yes in /etc/default/kamailio
and disable_core_dump=no in my kamailio.cfg

However, I'm not able to see any core dumps when restarting kamailio
even when I see "sig_alarm_abort(): shutdown timeout triggered, dying"...

Am I supposed to get a core dump in such case?

Tks a lot!
Aymeric
