Hi Juha,
A few months ago there was a discussion on IRC and the sr-dev list about
what is needed for outbound. This requirement to remove broken contacts
was presented then by someone as something that (although not explicit
in the RFC) is needed.
If a flow is broken, particularly one over TCP where the connection is
established from the UAC to the edge proxy, then it will never work
again. As such it is extremely wasteful to continue to try and use that
flow (in preference to one that will work) for each new dialog forming
request. Further, as re-REGISTER times can be quite long, not removing
broken contacts could lead to a significant/growing number of dead
contacts (all of which will be tried for each new dialog forming
request) in the location table.
There is an unregister() function in the registrar module, there are
also the reg_(fetch|free)_contacts() functions in the registrar module.
None of these appear to do quite what is required.

One requirement of an outbound capable registrar
is that if a flow fails
(edge proxy returns a 430) the registrar should realise that the flow is
now dead and remove that contact binding from its database so it is not
used again as well as trying the next contact. I can't see anything that
will do this? Is this missing?
peter,
i didn't find in rfc5626 a requirement that registrar should remove 430
flow contact, but, if there is such a requirement, in my opinion removal
should be done from failure route in the script by a function that
removes the contact.
a similar thing was discussed a while back (see below).

Why only UDP? Are TCP contacts removed when the TCP connections is closed?
IMO there should also be a mechanism to remove ALL expired unresponsive
contacts.
how about the following for tcp contacts:
- set_forward_no_connect();
- if t_relay() fails because tcp connection does not exist,
unregister the AoR/contact
what would be needed is a find out that t_relay() failed due to
non-existing connection and a script function to do un-registration of
an AoR/contact.
perhaps both of these two things already exist?
