RE: [Users] Openser 1.1 and Dispatacher Failover - sr-users

      Thanks Carsten.
What does ds_next_domain() do? Is failure_route[1] supposed to be calling itself? Why don't you call ds_next_dst() instead?
Douglas.

Hi Douglas,
It's quite simple. Here an except from a possible Main-Route:
[...]
# Choose a Proxy (Round-Robin, PSTN-Gateways)
ds_select_domain("2", "4");

# On Failure: Choose next Proxy
t_on_failure("1");

# Relay to the Proxy
if (!t_relay()) {
    sl_reply_error();
}
[...]

And here the corresponding failure-route:
failure_route[1] {
    # Choose another gateway
    if (t_check_status("408")) {
        if (ds_next_domain()) {
            # On Failure: Choose next Proxy
            t_on_failure("1");
            # Relay to Proxy
            t_relay();
        } else {
            t_reply("503", "Service not available");
            return;
        }
    }
}
And here the modparam for the dispatcher:
# Dispatcher: Enable Failover-Support
modparam("dispatcher", "flags", 2)
That's it.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, none of this stuff is
documented. I really don't have a clue how to implement any of this.

Hi Douglas,
Yes you're right, it does. You just cannot do a simple (stateless) 
forward for failover, you need to establish a transaction (e. g. 
t_relay()) and you need a failure-route handling the error 
(if there is 
any error). And don't forget the flags of the dispatcher 
(Flag 2 needs 
to be enabled).

I was under the impression that the dispatcher module in
Openser 1.1 did failover?
...
I just tried it. I put an invalid IP in my dispatcher.list
file. When the dispatcher selects that invalid IP, it looks 
like it never times out and tries another.
...
# PSTN
2 sip:216.187.140.217 # INVALID
2 sip:216.187.141.246
2 sip:216.187.140.216
What special steps do I need to take to ensure the
dispatcher does failover?
...
Here's a piece of my openser.cfg file...
    #
    # Outgoing PSTN Calls - Dispatch to Audiocodes
    #
    if (    src_ip == 216.187.142.203 || 
            src_ip == 216.187.142.204 ||
            src_ip == 216.187.142.232 ||
            src_ip == 216.187.142.201 ||
            src_ip == 216.187.142.231 ) {
        sl_send_reply("100","Trying");
        xlog ("L_INFO","Outbound PSTN call. Dispatching 

to Audiocodes");
...
        ds_select_dst("2","0");
        forward();
        return;
 }

Doug.
