Hello,

thank you. I see the problem with the worker processes now. I had a look at 
PIKE module and RATELIMIT module as well.

My idea was to delay the call WITHOUT sending any reply-message to the caller, 
as I wanted to save performance and I can identify suspicios users by a 
reputation that I compute before.

It seems the only way to do so, might be to store the INVITE information 
somewhere and keep on routing it again after a certain timeout.

Do you agree?
there is support in the code to suspend the transaction and resume the processing, iirc, look in tm module for t_suspend() function.

Right now you can do following:
- set timeout to 30 sec
- set failure route timeout
- send the invite via udp to a invalid destination (e.g., your ip port 9)
- when the 30sec will pass, the failure route timeout will be executed and you can do further routing.

Drawbacks - for the 30sec tm will do retransmission. To avoid that, run another kamailio on a different port where you send the invite and reply back 100 trying so first kamailio stops the retransmission.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello, It is not a good design practice to do it synchronously, mainly
because the worker process will remain blocked for 30s . Imagine an
attacker sending 30 requests and DoS the whole server , because of the
limited number of worker process (not to mention that 30s delay means
retrasmits from the TM layer- so these need to be handled by tm before
the "sleep").

Anyway I wouldn't recommend a design like this.  As others suggested
pike and ratelimite (mostly ratelimit) will allow you to drop calls from
attackers. You could add a Retry-After header so to inform a normal UA
to retry the request after a number of seconds.
