rate limit module
by Fabian Borot 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hello, I am trying to use the rate limit module using Kamailio 1.5.2. I feel that I got it but I would like some pointers and recommendations. These are my settings: (this is a lab of course), I used 1 on the timer_interval because I am generating the calls manually and wanted to see it in action quickly: # ---- ratelimit ------- modparam("ratelimit", "timer_interval", 1) modparam("ratelimit", "reply_code", 506) modparam("ratelimit", "reply_reason", "Rejecting due to high load") modparam("ratelimit", "queue", "0:INVITE") modparam("ratelimit", "pipe", "0:TAILDROP:1") then in the route section: if (method=="INVITE") { xlog("L_INFO","mylog: RL found INVITE.\n"); if (!rl_check()) { xlog("L_INFO","mylog: RL dropped message.\n"); rl_drop(); exit; }; xlog("L_INFO","mylog: RL found INVITE but did not drop it.\n"); }; The TAILDROP algorithm seems to work better than the RED, based on what I expected of course (with 1 sec timer interval and 1 calls/sec on the pipe). Making manual calls one right after the other almost always triggered the protecting when there was another call on the same second. But these lines (1.6.3. pipe) on the doc got me kind of confused: " When specifying a limit, the unit depends on the algorithm used and doesn't need to be specified also (eg, for TAILDROP or RED, limit means packets/sec, whereas with the FEEDBACK algorithm, it means [CPU] load factor). For these 2 lines below, does this mean that the interval =10 will be overridden by the 100 calls/sec on the TAILDROP algorithm? modparam("ratelimit", "timer_interval", 10) modparam("ratelimit", "pipe", "0:TAILDROP:100") I made a quick test and with timer_interval = 10 and TAILDROP:1, it looks like the protection kicks in almost every 10 secs: (Dec 2 19:44:07 and Dec 2 19:43:57), tail -f proxy.log | grep RL Dec 2 19:43:53 AW-ATL-PROXY-01 ./kamailio[17450]: mylog: RL found INVITE.

transport=TLS
by Bruno Bresciani 02 Dec '11

Hi All, kamailio 3.1.2 recognize value "transport=TLS" on contact header or only "transport=tls"? kamailio forwards (t_relay function) the message with UDP protocol when value "transport=TLS" is on contact header. Cheers

Monitoring inquiry
by Jenkins, Rachel 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I have a couple questions as it relates to monitoring a Kamailio SIP Server. 1. Do you have an OID that we can poll via SNMP-GETs to show call completion statistics? Either the % of completion or the accepting/connecting statistics. If you do not have an OID, do you have a syslog or trap message that can be generated? 2. Do you have an OID that we can poll to get a list errors that were generated? Ex-OID for a 408 or 503. If not, is there a syslog or trap? 3. Can you recommend a way to view the MOS score - possible hardware tap on network to get MOS?

how approach nathelper when using usrloc db_mode 3?
by Albert Petit 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Hello, We found an issue when using nat pinger Previously our system had 1 Kamailio as entry point and we were using usrloc in mode 2 so: modparam("usrloc", "db_mode",2) modparam("usrloc", "db_url", "mysql://openser:openserrw@<DB_IP>/openser") On our system we like to use the pinger NAT_HELPER module to keep the connections alive for the users of our system. Now we're trying to configure two Kamailio K1 and K2 as entry point of the system and having both of them active at the same time with a virtual IP as common entry point for both. I believe this approach requires to flush information on the usrloc immediately because following use case can happen and needs to work: - A registers on K1 server - B registers on K2 server -After 5 seg B makes an INVITE to A through K2=> we need K2 kamailio instance to be able to locate A immediately and not wait until the first Kamailio flushes the info to the db. (it looks to be around 20/30 seg by default on mode 2 I think , correct so this looks to be too much time) So to improve this we tried to change to use usrloc in mode 3 instead of mode 2. But then we've a big issue: when enabling the pinger module for NATted users we see it opens a new connection to the db for each OPTIONS ping we want to send. That looks too many connections for our MySQL server because for eg if I leave two users registered for 1 hour after some time I start to see errors like: 13(5292) ERROR: <core> [db_query.c:130]: error while submitting query 13(5292) ERROR: usrloc [dlist.c:151]: raw_query failed 13(5292) ERROR: nathelper [nathelper.c:3459]: failed to fetch contacts 13(5292) ERROR: db_mysql [km_dbase.c:117]: driver error on query: Too many conne How should this problem be approached? Could this be due to wrong mysql configuration? But anyway if for each ping done by NAT_PINGER we make a query to the db I think this is a lot of "noise" for the db as pings happen often! Thanks BR Albert
