HI All,

What's everyone's experience with pipelimit regarding performance? Say we set dynamic pipes base on au and source ip? This would result in thousands of pipes would it not? Is this going to put a substantial load on the server? Are there other settings that should be tweaked when implementing it such as memory limits etc?

Thank You,

John Petrini

Hello,

the pipelimit aims to be more dynamic, while dropping the queues
concepts of ratelimit, given those can be done with IF conditions inside
kamailio.cfg.

In ratelimit, the pipes are defined as parameters, with some limits in
the number of pipes as well as constrained to integer ids for pipes.

Pipelimit can load the definitions of pipes from database, making it
easier to provision via some gui. It doesn't store back anything, given
that even few seconds of shutdown will invalidate the pipes counters.
Moreover, the pipes can be created on the fly, they don't have to be
defined in advance via db or parameters. You can load the limit and
algorithm from a user profile and then just use them as parameter with
the username as pipe id parameter and you get a new pipe created at that
moment if there is none with same id.

Cheers,
Daniel
