My understanding is that used memory goes back to normal after the test, not something that stays high forever, so it doesn't look at all with what you refer to.

Andrey,

Can you please run “kamcmd tm.stats” and check the values. I have a similar problem and see clearly

a lot of transactions not being freed, eating up memory and ending with out of memory messages in the log.

Have an open issue about it in the bug tracker.

/O

Hello,

if you run with 512MB, is the shm free getting to 1.8MB as well for same figures of registrations and calls?

Hi,

We use kamailio as a router in our PBX server. The test below causes significant decreasing of free shared memory and 

many "out of memory" errors in kamailio log:

Preconditions: kamailio server with 256Mb of shared memory allocated.

Test actions: run two load testing scripts at the same time: 

  1) 10000 register operations;

  2) 20000 calls (about 300 per sec);

Results: 

    1) memory consumption in peak values:

 - shmem.free_size: 1.8Mb

 - core: 120Mb:

 - build_req_buf_from_sip_req: 12.5Mb

 - msg_lump_cloner: 23.6Mb

 - sip_msg_shm_clone: 84Mb

 - tm module: 118Mb

    2) shmem.free_size parameter back to normal after the test, so it could be concluded that we don't have any memory leaks.

Is it normal behavior or it's possible to do something to increase performance?

PS: the same behaviour occurs for various values of shared memory defined at the start of kamailio server (128Mb, 256Mb, 512Mb etc.).

Thank you,

Andrey
