Thanks Daniel,
I'll stick with my complex configuration file for now, but I might take
a look at ASYNC sometime later if get a chance.
Thanks again,
Peter

Hi,
As part of some work to get the maximum performance out of Kamailio
RLS and Presence I would like to be able to hand-off processing of
presence requests (NOTIFY, PUBLISH, and SUBSCRIBE) to some worker
processes. This way, even if large numbers of presence requests are
received on a single TCP connection, all that the Kamailio process
managing that connection has to do is to de-packetise the requests
and hand them off.
I have been looking at the ASYNC module and it doesn't seem to do
quite the right thing for this. The issue is the sleep parameter.
I want my worker processes to process presence requests continuously
from a queue, not suspend them for a second or more and then process
them. Is there a simple change to ASYNC to get it to do this?
I currently do what I need in a quite different way (see config
fragment below), but I think using ASYNC would be cleaner if it did
what I needed...
...

modparam("mqueue", "mqueue", "name=presence")

"name=presence0;interval=1;mode=1;")

"timer=presence0;route=PRESENCE_PROCESS")
modparam("rtimer", "timer",
"name=presence1;interval=1;mode=1;")
modparam("rtimer", "exec",
"timer=presence1;route=PRESENCE_PROCESS")
...

"name=presence7;interval=1;mode=1;")

if (@event!="presence" &&
@event!="presence.winfo") {
$var(ev_type) = @event;
xlog("L_INFO", " $rm $var(ev_type) not a presence
message for myself\n");
return;
}
if (!t_suspend()) {
t_reply("500", "Server Internal Error");
xlog("L_ERR", "Failed to suspend transaction for
$rm\n");
exit;
}
xlog("L_INFO", "Suspended transaction for $rm
[$T(id_index):$T(id_label)]\n");
if (!mq_add("presence", "$T(id_index)",
"$T(id_label)")) {
t_reply("500", "Server Internal Error");
xlog("L_ERR", "Failed to queue transaction for $rm
[$T(id_index):$T(id_label)]\n");
exit;
}
exit;
...
route[PRESENCE_PROCESS] {
lock("pres");
$var(pres) = $shv(pres);
$shv(pres) = $shv(pres) + 1;
unlock("pres");
xlog("L_WARN", "Starting presence de-queue process
$var(pres) (pid: $pp)\n");
while (1) {
while (mq_fetch("presence")) {
$var(id_index) = (int) $mqk(presence);
$var(id_label) = (int) $mqv(presence);
xlog("L_INFO", "Found queued presence
transaction [$var(id_index):$var(id_label)]\n");
t_continue("$var(id_index)",

}

Presence\n");
handle_publish();
} else if (is_method("SUBSCRIBE")) {
xlog("L_INFO", "Sending SUBSCRIBE to
RLS\n");
$var(ret_code) = rls_handle_subscribe();
if ($var(ret_code) == 10) {
xlog("L_INFO", " SUBSCRIBE not for RLS -
sending to Presence\n");
handle_subscribe();
}
} else {
xlog("L_ERR", "Received non-(NOTIFY|SUBSCRIBE)
request from presence queue\n");
t_reply("500", "Server Internal Error");
}
exit;
}
just for the records, rtimer can do now micro-second timers -- that
should lower waiting time for your example.
It would be good to have also an 'immediate' execution of a route in
async module, kind of embedding the above config functionality --
having a list of tasks in shared memory (id_index, id_label) and a
pool of workers checking and consuming it -- it will make config
simpler for such needs, otherwise, the functionality can be achieved
right now pretty much completely just via config.
Cheers,
Daniel
