Re: [SR-Users] Create new listener on the fly

Thanks Alex for your elaboration; you are right. This is the reason that the current ims_ipsec module will create a bunch of listeners at startup that looks not efficient.

Kamailio uses a static pool of preforked SIP worker processes, and this is initialised once upon startup. These child processes are spawned for every listener, and communicate and share data using SysV IPC and shared memory. The shared memory pool is likewise initialised upon startup, as is the small fixed-size area of private memory associated with each other worker process (“package memory”). While perhaps not strictly impossible to alter, this setup isn’t particularly amenable to the dynamic creation and destruction of listeners, or the additional child processes they beget. The child processes need to be forked on startup, before their heap is laden with runtime baggage. All this is relatively expensive to initialise. — Alex -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/ __________________________________________________________ Kamailio - Users Mailing List - Non Commercial Discussions sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org Important: keep the mailing list in the recipients, do not reply only to the sender!
