[OpenSIPS-Users] Are accounting radius requests syncronous?

[Alex Massover]

Hi!

I understand why syslog is blocking. But acc-request is not even generated by a function in a script like xlog(), it enabled by flag and triggered later according to the transaction state. The result of acc-request is not even visible to a script.

I think accounting should be non-blocking (should run in another thread or what is OpenSIPS best implementation practice). Even if radius server has no problem and answers properly, blocking requests have negative performance impact on signaling.

That's a blocking process, yes, as syslog, libresolv, etc.
