[OpenSIPS-Devel] Prospective GSoC student

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hello Tushar,

Welcome to the OpenSIPS project community. The project you are looking 
at requires C skills and covers several tasks:

1) creating a control channel (for commands) in parallel with the 
existing HEP data channel. This control channel is bidirectional, 
allowing OpenSIPS (as tracing node) to push data description to the 
capturing server. Also the capturing server may send instructions about 
controlling what and how is it traced by OpenSIPS. The control channel 
is to be based on RMQ. OpenSIPS already has capabilities of sending RMQ 
messages. So, breaking even more:
     a) add in OpenSIPS capability to act as an RMQ consumer
     b) integrate in OpenSIPS the capability of using its RMQ sender for 
describing data to the capturing server
     c) have HEP and siptrace module to interpret the commands send by 
the capturing server via control protocol

2) add more data types to be traced by OpenSIPS, like DB queries, b2b 
sessions - here, the tracing support is in place, you need to create new 
hooks for these new data types and to pack them via HEP.

As a starting point, you should try to install Homer capturing Server 
(see https://github.com/sipcapture/homer-installer/tree/opensips-2.3 ) 
and to configure another OpenSIPS to act as a tracing node (for SIP 
traffic) (see https://blog.opensips.org/2017/03/22/capturing-beyond-sip/)

Best regards,
