[OpenSIPS-Users] [queue] OpenSIPS message queue depth full - Why ?

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Marc,

How much traffic is queued on socket depends on (1) volume of traffic 
and (2) how fast opensips can handle packages.

So, maybe your traffic increased (do not rely only on number of 
transactions for this, use the core statistics like the number of 
received requests and reply - that's more relevant).

Regarding how fast opensips can handle packages, maybe some blocking ops 
(DNS, database) are affecting your opensips. The trunk version of 
opensips has some new extension for troubleshooting the load-related 
problems - see:

Regards,
Bogdan
