From a strictly linguistic point of view the sentence, "This is supported by all
rtpengine commands except rtpengine_manage()" is at the end of the second paragraph,
which is in reference to the second argument. I would take it to mean that the second
argument is not supported by rtpengine_manage() - not that the entire function is not
supported. Does that seem correct?
As reference the full section:
---
5.1. set_rtpengine_set(setid[, setid])
Sets the ID of the RTP proxy set to be used for the next rtpengine_delete(),
rtpengine_offer(), rtpengine_answer() or rtpengine_manage() command. The parameter can be
an integer or a config variable holding an integer.
A second set ID can be specified to daisy-chain two RTP proxies. The two set IDs must be
distinct from each other and there must not be any overlap in the proxies present in both
sets. In this use case, the request (offer, answer, etc) is first sent to an RTP proxy
from the first set, which rewrites the SDP body and sends it back to the module. The
rewritten SDP body is then used to make another request to an RTP proxy from the second
set, which rewrites the SDP body another time and sends it back to the module to be placed
back into the SIP message. This is useful if you have a set of RTP proxies that the caller
must use, and another distinct set of RTP proxies that the callee must use. This is
supported by all rtpengine commands except rtpengine_manage().

Hello,
not sure why that remark is there, because contradicts with the first paragraph that has:
"Sets the ID of the RTP proxy set to be used for the next rtpengine_delete(),
rtpengine_offer(), rtpengine_answer() or rtpengine_manage() command."

I don't think that the last statement is good, maybe it propagated without notice from
a very old version. From code point of view, there is no reason for set_rtpengine_set()
not to work for rtpengine_manage(), this function is a pretty simple wrapper for
rtpengine_offer()/_answer()/_delete().
I am going to remove that last statement from docs.
Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks.

Hi David,
Whence the impression that sets aren't compatible with rtpengine_manage()?
https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.7.x/modules/rtpengine.html#rtpengine.f.…
"Sets the ID of the RTP proxy set to be used for the next rtpengine_delete(),
rtpengine_offer(), rtpengine_answer() or rtpengine_manage() command. The parameter
can be an integer or a config variable holding an integer."
Or are you using an earlier version of Kamailio in which this may not have been true?

Hi Alex,
Thank you for the reply. We use a large weight of 99999999 to send almost all calls to
the 22.x and 33.x servers without using sets. We avoided sets because our Kamailio
configuration uses rtpengine_manage(), which according to the documentation is not
compatible with set_rtpengine_set(). I'll try it without the 11.x server and the large
weights, and see if the calls are evenly distributed between the 22.x and 33.x servers
then.
Thanks again.

Hi,
From the docs:
"The balancing inside a set is done automatically by the module based on the weight
of each RTPEngine from the set. The default weight is 1, if another RTPEngine should be
used twice as often as the first one, one would specify the weight 2 for this server, for
example."
I am unsure as to what effect such large values as 99999999 might have on this
arithmetic.
It seems to me that if what you really want to accomplish is to evenly distribute calls
between 22.22.22.22 and 33.33.33.33, with 11.11.11.11 only as a last-resort backup, then
you should put the first two into one naive set without any weights, e.g.
modparam("rtpengine_sock", "1 ==
udp:22.22.22.22:7724<http://22.22.22.22:7724/>
udp:33.33.33.33:7724<http://33.33.33.33:7724/>")
Then put 11.11.11.11 into a set of its own:
modparam("rtpengine_sock", "2 ==
udp:11.11.11.11:22724<http://11.11.11.11:22724/>")
By default, set 1 should be invoked:
set_rtpengine_set("1");
rtpengine_{offer,manage}("...");
According to the docs, rtpengine_offer() will return a negative value if there is a
failure of both:
"The function will return true on success and false (-1) on various failures,
like
using rtp_engine_offer() on a SIP MESSAGE request or communication with rtpengine
fails."
Presumably, rtpengine_manage() does the same. Accordingly, you can do something like:
set_rtpengine_set("1");
if(!rtpengine_offer("...")) {
if($rc == -1) {
set_rtpengine_set("2");
rtpengine_offer("...");
}
}
Exact details and your mileage may vary.

Hello,
We have a Kamailio configuration with the following, however all the load is going to the
server at 22.22.22.22 (hiding the real IP obviously) instead of being shared evenly
between 22.22.22.22 and 33.33.33.33. Can anyone please tell me why? The rtpengine server
at 11.11.11.11 is intended to only receive calls if the other two are offline. Thank you
very much.
