thinking more about this, the only time it makes sense (on an IPv4 network)
is if kamailio is operating as a UAC (using uac module)
Or am i misunderstanding something?
my concern here is, it can be a dangerous setting when handling presence
(over TCP) at large scale.
for example if you have 10,000 subscribers and you restart kamailio (drop
all the tcp connections), the tcp write queue will quickly fill up when
your presence module tries sending out NOTIFYs to the UACs on broken tcp
connections. when the tcp write queue fills up, it can create a huge
bottleneck in kamailio and trigger more widespread issues across the system.
I'm looking for clarification on why `tcp_no_connect=0` by default so i can
at least update the doc/wiki on it (and the dangers of it in some setups)
Thanks again!

It does make sense for IPv6 but not in IPv4 networks.

Ohh, misinterpreted tcp_no_connect=no is
tcp_no_connect=0, which is the
default.
My other remark related to user location was for the case of
tcp_no_connect=yes, which I thought is what was meant initially.
Cheers,

Hello,
do you have tcp_no_connect=no in your config? Because I think the default
value is 0.
It is useful when you have client behind the nat that closed the
connection, but the contact record is still valid in location table.

I'm trying to understand the scenario when `tcp_no_connect` should ever
be set to `no`.
Kamailio comes with `tcp_no_connect=no` by default which means it will
try (and seemingly always fail) to create an outbound tcp connection when a
UAC's tcp connection is lost. This in-turn could start building up the tcp
write queue and can be disastrous at scale.
So why would this setting (`tcp_no_connect=no`) ever be useful?
Thanks
