[OpenSIPS-Users] tcp_max_msg_time question

[Liviu Chircu]

Hi Artem,

Do not confuse TCP connection _lifetime & keepalives_ with _fragmented 
SIP messages over TCP_. There is no connection between them.

Lifetime & keepalives
---------------------
Here you have /tcp_connection_lifetime/ [1] and /tcp_keepalive/ [2]. 
Pinging is done at kernel level, with 4-byte pings which look like 
"\0\0\0\0". If these TCP pings do not reach your UACs (e.g. due to some 
firewall), the nathelper module may perform its own OPTIONS pinging at 
SIP level if you enable /natping_tcp/ [3] (a bit slower, but gets the 
job done, as you may have already realised!)

SIP fragmentation
-----------------
By default, OpenSIPS has built-in resilience against fragmented SIP 
messages over TCP. If the TCP core reads only a chunk of a SIP message, 
the connection will be closed unless the whole message is delivered 
within /tcp_max_msg_time/ [4] seconds since the first chunk, in order to 
prevent abuse.
