My concern here is about adding too many avps parameters which can endup in loops across the list of avps to see if they are defined or not. I am thinking of having a different implementation that is better in terms of performances and flexibility, like: - extend the registered parameters to take one more as flags - here will be a bitmask of what matching rules to be applied (e.g., 1 - callid matching, 2 - received matching, 4 - contact matching) - add the values for matching as part of xavp_cfg avp (e.g., say xavp_cfg is set to 'reg', then will be $xavp(reg=>match_callid) = "..."; $xavp(reg=>match_received) = "..." ...) Practically the search for the values to be match will be done only if the appropriate flag is set. The avp for matching call id should be removed. In the future, adding another matching rule will be adding a new flag and an inner attribute/value for xavp_cfg. What do you think? A : i like this approach. trying that. registrar - add xavp to reg_fetch_contacts modparams("usrloc", "xavp_contact", "ulattrs"); this commit adds the usrloc xavp_contact to the returned structure. reg_fetch_contacts("location", "$fu", "caller"); xlog("L_INFO", "$fu xavp = $ulc(caller=>received)"); xlog("L_INFO", "$fu xavp = $ulc(caller=>ulattrs=>MyExtendedInfoOnUser)"); I think this can be done also conditionally -- I would add a new parameter to reg_fetch_contacts where we can specify this behaviour as a flag. A : instead of a parameter, we could add a parameter "return_xavp_on_match" (or better naming) that would control the addition of the xavp in registered and reg_fetch_contacts. in reg_fetch_contacts the xavp is returned for each contact (not like in registered). i added it since we are already doing it in the lookup and lookup_to_dset. Thanks for these contributions and let's see if others have other ideas or commends on my proposal to get to a solution that is fair from performance/feature ratio point of view.
