Before you can take advantage of what OpenSER has to offer, you should
become familiar with the the various RFC's associated with SIP
communication.
AVP stands for Attribute - Value Pair. Basically, it maps an attribute
for example, "NPA" to a value such as "212". The AVP's do have
the
ability to use databases to store and retrieve values, however, this is
not a requirement. The configuration file can set, test and/or access
an AVP without any database access. In real life situations, you will
most probably want to use a database to store and retrieve AVP's.
RPID is defined here:

I thought AVP stuff was database related.... this
confuses me even more. I am reading the documentation you know.... constantly. Considering
it looks like it was written by the people who developed OpenSER, there's a lot of
implied/assumed knowledge there, and the scripting language is very high level, it's
bloody difficult to work out what the documentation means.
For example... where's the definitiaion of AVP? I still can't find what an
'rpid' is.

I really don't even get the point of what an
AVP is. Something to do with
databases. I don't see why database interaction is needed to set a timer.
That's crazy.
i don't know what is cracy, since no database interaction is needed to set
a timer. timers can be set in many different ways. read usrav
documentation.
