[SR-Users] Intermittent delays relaying BYE (up to 1s)

[Alex Balashov]

Hi,

While you have not said much about how your BYEs are processed, I would speculate that the operation in your config script does not consist purely of relaying these on the network, but also some sort of blocking database operation that is delaying execution of the config script.

All BYEs passed between the local network relay  in fractions of a second. All BYEs passed out of the KAMAILIO SBC or KAMAILIO REG to their respective public enpoints relay  in fractions of a second but BYEs received from public on advertised address take upto 1s for Kamailio to process and relay.
