So far my application is only topology hiding (baby steps).</div><div><br></div><div>When it comes to shutdown / db operations, in my mind I think of it like the dialog module. Is that a useful analogy? On my non-B2B-enabled proxies I run <a href="http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.6.x/dialog.html#id292849">db_mode</a>=1 to preserve as much data as possible during an Opensips restart. I've got it to the point where I lose only in-progress transactions and dialog profile data. I can live with that.</div><div><br></div><div>In the B2B world, as long as I have the data written to the db, am I restart-safe? If so, in b2b_entities is there a way to emulate the "REALTIME" db_mode=1 option of the dialog module?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Jeff</div></body></html>
