Re: [SR-Users] problem with dispatcher load balancing

I'm trying to set up kamailio dispatcher to distribute calls to 2 asterisk servers. So far, the failover case seems ok, but I cannot get the dispatcher to distribute load. All calls are going to the last destination entry in the dispatcher table even if I have set the maxload attributes. I'm using algorithm 10 for load distribution. The number of calls sent to one asterisk is well above the maxload. Hope someone more experienced in dispatcher can review my config and give me some recommendations. Thanks in advance. Here is the content of dispatcher table in postgresql db. select * from dispatcher; id | setid | destination | flags | priority | attrs | description ----+-------+--------------------+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------- 1 | 1 | sip:10.0.1.31:5061 <http://10.0.1.31:5061> | 0 | 0 | duid=asterisk1;maxload=25 | Asterisk1 2 | 1 | sip:10.0.1.33:5061 <http://10.0.1.33:5061> | 0 | 0 | duid=asterisk2;maxload=25 | Asterisk2 (2 rows) Here are the dispatcher sections in kamailio.cfg. # ----- dispatcher params ----- #!ifdef WITH_DISPATCHER modparam("dispatcher", "db_url", DBASTURL) modparam("dispatcher", "table_name", "dispatcher") modparam("dispatcher", "force_dst", 1). # If flag 2 is set, then failover support is enabled. modparam("dispatcher", "flags", 3) # the last address in destination set is used as a final option to send the request to modparam("dispatcher", "use_default", 1) # load balancing fail over modparam("dispatcher", "dst_avp", "$avp(dsdst)") modparam("dispatcher", "grp_avp", "$avp(dsgrp)") modparam("dispatcher", "cnt_avp", "$avp(dscnt)") modparam("dispatcher", "dstid_avp", "$avp(dsdstid)") modparam("dispatcher", "attrs_avp", "$avp(dsattrs)") # PVs for hashing modparam("dispatcher", "hash_pvar", "$fU@$ci") # PVs to store results when calling ds_is_from_list modparam("dispatcher", "setid_pvname", "$var(setid)") modparam("dispatcher", "attrs_pvname", "$var(attrs)") # method to probe the gateways modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_method", "OPTIONS") modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_from", "sip:dispatcher@localhost") modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_interval", 30) modparam("dispatcher", "ds_probing_threshhold", 10) modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_reply_codes", "class=2;code=403;code=404;code=484;code=488;class=3") modparam("dispatcher", "ds_probing_mode", 1) # size of hash table storing data for call load dispatching, power of two modparam("dispatcher", "ds_hash_size", 10) # expiration time in seconds to remove the load on a destination if no BYE was received modparam("dispatcher", "ds_hash_expire", 3600) # expiration time in seconds to remove the load on a destination if no 200 OK for INVITE was received # and state updated with ds_load_update modparam("dispatcher", "ds_hash_initexpire", 60) modparam("dispatcher", "ds_hash_check_interval", 30) #!endif route[WITHINDLG] { if (has_totag()) { # sequential request withing a dialog should # take the path determined by record-routing #!ifdef WITH_DISPATCHER if(is_method("BYE|CANCEL") && ds_is_from_list("1", "3")) ds_load_update(); #!endif ...... } } route[FROMASTERISK] { #!ifdef WITH_DISPATCHER if(ds_is_from_list("1", "3")) { xlog("L_DBG","$rm from $fU@$si:$sp: Call from Asterisk cluster\n"); return 1; } return -1; #!else if ($si==$sel(cfg_get.asterisk.bindip)) { return 1; } return -1; #!endif } onreply_route[MANAGE_REPLY] { xdbg("incoming reply\n"); #!ifdef WITH_DISPATCHER if(is_method("INVITE") && ds_is_from_list("1", "3")) { if(status=~"2[0-9][0-9]") { ds_load_update(); } else if(status=~"[3-7][0-9][0-9]") { ds_load_unset(); } } #!endif if(status=~"[12][0-9][0-9]") route(NATMANAGE); } #!ifdef WITH_DISPATCHER failure_route[RTF_DISPATCH] { if (t_is_canceled()) { exit; } # next DST - only for 500 or local timeout if (t_check_status("500") or (t_branch_timeout() and !t_branch_replied())) { # mark the destination Inactive and Probing ds_mark_dst("IP"); # select the new destination if(ds_next_dst()) { t_on_failure("RTF_DISPATCH"); route(RELAY); exit; } else { # last available node failed to reply, no other destinations available send_reply("404", "No destination"); exit; } } } #!endif route[TOASTERISK] { #!ifdef WITH_DISPATCHER # ds_mark_dst("IP"); # Call load distribution if(!ds_select_dst("1", "10")) { sl_send_reply("500", "Service Unavailable"); xlog("L_INFO","$rm from $fU@$si:$sp: No destinations available for $rd\n"); exit; } xlog("L_DBG", "--- SCRIPT: going to <$ru> via <$du>\n"); t_on_failure("RTF_DISPATCH"); #!else $du = "sip:" + $sel(cfg_get.asterisk.bindip) + ":" + $sel(cfg_get.asterisk.bindport); #!endif route(RELAY); exit; } # Dispatcher detects a destination goes down event_route[dispatcher:dst-down] { xlog("L_ERR", "Destination down: $rm $ru ($du)\n"); } # Dispatcher detects a destination comes up event_route[dispatcher:dst-up] { xlog("L_ERR", "Destination up: $rm $ru\n"); } _______________________________________________ SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing list sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org <mailto:sr-users@lists.sip-router.org> http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users
