Hello,

for an internal call to ring).
this might be because of some slow DNS or database response. The best is
to run in higher debug mode to see where it gets stuck. Another
possiblity is the syslog, make sure it is configured to be asynchronous.
If you have lot of messages written to syslog synchronous, then you will
get lot of delays.
To troubleshoot, see which application eats most of the CPU, if that
happens.
On the other hand, with 1.2.x you get better performances and parsing
error handling via error_route. You should consider upgrading.

Capturing the network traffic when this happens we
have noticed that our
Asterisk (1.2.10) voicemail server is sending malformed CANCEL requests
to our OpenSER proxy. We are not certain whether this is a cause or an
effect of the load problems on the OpenSER server. Here is the SIP data
from the bad CANCEL request:
Session Initiation Protocol

Accompanying this bad CANCEL request are the following error messages

May 29 15:34:10 cocoa openser[892]: alias_db_lookup: Error while parsing Request-URI
While the malformed packet is likely the fault of the Asterisk server
(we see no packets from OpenSER to Asterisk with the sip protocol
missing from the URI), we are wondering if OpenSER errors out in a bad
way when it tries to process this packet, possibly entering into some
sort of loop that is causing the load to go through the roof.
It is also unclear to us why the Asterisk voicemail server would be
responding with a cancel. In our packet capture we see no record of a
request initiated by the Asterisk server that it would be sending a
CANCEL for.
Any insight that could be offered into this problem would be greatly
appreciated.
Thx,
David Coulthart
