Sounds good.

Thank you,

Hello Stefan,

we will look into adding a timer-based approach of detecting offline rtpengine 
servers.

Subject: [sr-dev] Re: rtpengine module: Question about re-enabling nodes

Hi,

Yes this is how currently rtpengine module re-detect rtpengines: during SIP
routing processing. (e.g. rtpengine_manage())

Yes, lowering "rtpengine_tout_ms" will make rtpp_test() C code function take
shorter time => rtpengine_manage() will take shorter time.

Also disabling "aggressive_redetection" modparam helps alot in case when no
rtpengines available at all. Thus, redetection of unavailable rtpengine nodes is
tried only when their time comes, based on "rtpengine_disable_tout"
modparam. Right now, if no rtpengines available at all, and aggressive
redetection is enabled(by default), redetection happens for each new SIP
message, independent of "rtpengine_disable_tout" modparam. So delays SIP
routing alot. (PR:
https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/pull/3992)

This way of detecting rtpengine has, of course, both pros and cons.

I've been thinking of adding another behavior of this node re-detection in
code, guarded via new modparam: expose an rtpengine_ping() config function
and call it from rtimer. And rtpengine_manage() function will just check if any
nodes available, but not ping them anymore. => not sure how much time have
for it though.

Thanks,
Stefan

Hi,

we had strange behavior with kamailio when some rtpengines were
unreachable, so we looked into the the source code and found this in
select_rtpp_node_new():

3323 /* Try to enable if it's time to try. */
3324 if(node->rn_disabled && node->rn_recheck_ticks <= get_ticks()) {
3325     node->rn_disabled = rtpp_test(node, 1, 0);
3326 }

Does this mean that a ping will be done during rtpengine manage?
Is this wise? I mean there are dedicated pings in the background.
Doing this in rtpengine manage will only periodically delay the
processing of a SIP message. We fear that in high traffic situations
this could occupy all threads. Is this a bug?

As a workaround we think setting rtpengine_tout_ms to a lower value
might help as it shortens the amount of time the module delays the
processing of the SIP message.


What do you think?

Best wishes
