Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1. Overview

This module serves as a storage engine for SCSCF contacts, much like the standard Kamailio module that is usrloc, is a storage engine for standard SIP contacts.

2. Dependencies

2.1. Kamailio Modules

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

  • TM

  • Presence

  • IMS dialog

3. Parameters

3.1. db_url (string)

database URL for storing impu/contacts records

Example 1.1. Set db_url parameter

        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "db_url", "mysql//username:password@localhost/scscf")

3.2. db_mode (string)

This is the database mode to be used for the SCSCF usrloc data persistent storage. Currently this module supports the Write-Back scheme only.

  • 0 - This disables database completely. Only memory will be used. Contacts will not survive restart.

  • 1 - Write-Backend scheme. All changes are made to memory and database synchronization is done in the timer

Default value is 0.

Example 1.2. Set db_mode parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "db_mode", 1)

3.3. maxcontact (int)

The parameter can be used to limit the number of contact for each impu

Default value is 0(max)

Example 1.3. Set maxcontact parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "maxcontact", 10)

3.4. maxcontact_3gpp (int)

The parameter can be used to limit the number of 3GPP contact for each impu

Default value is 0.(max)

Example 1.4. Set maxcontact_3gpp parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "maxcontact_3gpp", 0)

3.5. maxcontact_behaviour (int)

Behaviour of usrloc , after impu reach max contacts limit.

  • 0 - Disabled

  • 1 - Reject after reaching limit.

  • 2 - Overwrite

Default value is 0.

Example 1.5. Set maxcontact_behaviour parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "maxcontact_behaviour", 2)

3.6. max_subscribes(int)

Max number of subscribes allowed per watcher for each IMPU

Default value is 0.

Example 1.6. Set subscription_expires_range parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "max_subscribes", 2)

3.7. sub_dialog_hash_size(int)

Subscriber dialog hash table size

Default value is 10.

Example 1.7. Set sub_dialog_hash_size parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "sub_dialog_hash_size", 512)

3.8. timer_procs(int)

process number of handling registeration

Default value is 0

Example 1.8. Set timer_procs parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "timer_procs", 5)

3.9. timer_interval (int)

Number of seconds between two timer runs. The module uses a timer to delete expired contacts, synchronize with database and other tasks, that need to be run periodically

Default value is 90

Example 1.9. Set timer_interval parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "timer_interval", 120)

3.10. desc_time_order (int)

If the user's contacts should be kept timestamp ordered; otherwise the contact will be ordered based on q value. Non 0 value means true.

Default value is timestamp ordering not enabled

Example 1.10. Set desc_time_order parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "desc_time_order", 1)

3.11. matching_mode (int)

What contact matching algorithm to be used.

  • 0 - Contact Only matching

  • 1 - Contact and Callid Matching

  • 2 - Contact and Path header matching

  • 3 - Only contact IP and Port Matching

Default value is 0.

Example 1.11. Set matching_mode parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "matching_mode", 0)

3.12. cseq_delay (int)

Delay (in seconds) for accepting as retransmissions register requests with same Call-ID and Cseq.

Default value is 20.

Example 1.12. Set cseq_delay parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "cseq_delay", 20)

3.13. fetch_rows(int)

The number of the rows to be fetched at once from database when loading the location records.

Default value is 2000.

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "fetch_rows", 3000)

3.14. hash_size (string)

The number of entries of the hash table used by usrloc

Default value 512

Example 1.14. Set hash_size parameter

...
        modparam("ims_usrloc_scscf", "hash_size", 512)
