+1.
Unless you have something specific running in memory
space (such as
with htables, etc), this means that Kamailio doesn't "remember" any of
the traffic that it proxies; instead using the information within the
SIP traffic to route the packets. A restart of the service does not
have an effect on the routing of this traffic, since the system is not
using memory to guide the proxying of traffic.
Yep, generally true. The exception would be CANCELs, since they are
hop-by-hop and require state in order to route. Another wrinkle is TCP
state if you use TCP or TLS, obviously.
But in the main, this is absolutely right. Restarting Kamailio isn't
that scary and doesn't inherently cause anything to drop or fail.
