Hi again,
Since I last posted on this topic I now have a working configuration script, including the route blocks I use for the parallel forking flows.
* For the parallel forking flow I use the dispatcher module,
pointing directly at the targets with sip:IP:port - so no DNS
lookups invoved here
* In the low latency network the solution is working in I also use the function t_set_fr(0, 125); to quickly discard unreachable targets
* For the traffic flow in question I know there will only be one
UAS that will respond among all of the parallel targets
So now I'm thinking that an alternative solution would be to use in the route block I use for the parallel forking one destination set in the dispatcher config that points to "the first 31 targets" and as a failure_route another destination set that points to "the next 31 targets".
- Is there any theoretical objection to this?
Cheers,
Lars
Hello,
the value 32 for MAX_BRANCHES_LIMIT is a constraint of tm internals which uses a 32 bitmap for some operations, going higher will require coding in tm module.
The variant now is to loop one more through kamailio and you can get to 32x32 branches. By doing record route only on one step of looping, then you have this looping only for initial INVITE transaction, the re-INVITE, BYE, etc. will go straight.
One more note, I am not sure and no time to check the code, one bit might be reserved in the bitmap, so it can be 31x31 branches after one local loop.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
I am building a configuration script where for some traffic flows parallel forking will be needed, and in this case I need to go beyond the default max limit of the max amount of branches.
Apart from this specific case the traffic load that kamailio will need to handle is very low, let's say just one second here and there with up to 5 concurrent calls at most.
This limit is as far as I understand set here: usr/local/src/kamailio-5.6/kamailio/src/core/config.h
And the default limit is:
#define MAX_BRANCHES_LIMIT 32 /*!< limit of maximum number of branches per transaction */Here are the questions I have related to this:
1) If I increase the value of this constant in config.h, how high is it reasonable to set this value and still have a stable system?
2) If I increase MAX_BRANCHES_LIMIT beyond 32, are there also other parameters that needs to be changed for the system to be able to cope, and if so which parameters?

Lars
