Hi All,

I'm looking to have a better understanding of when to use the Timer process versus the "Slow Timer" Process. This is what I came up with, but please correct me:

The “Timer” process is used to handle core processing within Kamailio. Therefore, you don’t want to put long running logic into the routing handler

The “Slow Timer” process can be used for long running processes

Pretty much so -- see in the source tree the file: doc/timers.txt -- it has some more details there for proper understanding.

Also note that you can create your own timer processes if you write your own c module -- rtimer module can be used to see some examples of how to do it. With rtimer you can actually create new timer processes that execute config route blocks periodically.

Cheers,
Daniel
