_______________________________________________Hello,
maybe we can just add this feature to the usrloc module -- right now the nat keepalive is done from nathelper module, which queries usrloc module to retrieve the list of the contacts to send OPTIONS to. Of course, the nathelper has the other variant witj 4-bytes pings, but I expect not many are using it these days.
Furthermore, because the nathelper has some options to forge the source ip address as well as willing to be lightweight, it sends the packets directly, no relying on tm module.
However, it seems that it is an increase interest in having more feedback based on these keepalives. Including the ability to do mirroring for sipcapture (a feature request being open in the tracker). Other request in the past was to send OPTIONS also for non-UDP contacts, nathelper does it only for UDP.
So we can consider adding a transaction based keepalive layer, which of course might take a bit more resources that current nathelper implementation, but can bring extra benefits. I think we can leave nathelper as it is and add this feature directly in the usrloc module, avoiding to pass data between modules, but also because we have to set/updates some fields in the contract structure (like this round trip time).
There are other modules that do keepalive, some mentioned dispatcher, there is a dedicated one named keepalive, and, afaik, also nat_traversal can do it. I am listing them so others can assert where it would be better to add the new feature -- as said, I would do it in usrloc, but I am open for other suggestions as well (eventually accompanied with a pull request).
Cheers,
Daniel

Depending on the use case, you could use the dispatcher module latency stats.

I think the only way to do this is to make this yourself (tm). In your
favorite scripting language, query the locations and fire OPTIONS and
measure the time for a response (if any) on basis of the "random" callid
you create. If you route these requests through kamailio you will
prevent any NAT problems or connection with TCP endpoints.
