It computes the delay between this timestamp and the time at which the packet is read by Kamailio. This can then be accessed using pv "$TV(RD)" (RD for "receive relay"). Rationale : The Kamailio server is handling traffic that is irregular and can temporarily spike to a point where all children are still busy when new packets are incoming on the network interface. Consequently, these packets have to wait until a worker is available. The client will see a higher response time, that currently cannot be monitored by Kamailio itself. This evolution allows to make this wait time observable by Kamailio, allowing to log or write the information to CDR for example. If this is possible, I'd like to merge this feature in Kamailio. Of course, I'm ready to discuss the PR and make any necessary changes. All comments and reviews are most welcome. I've tested this locally on Linux (3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64) with the latest Kamailio master as of 2023/03/23. Thanks!
