Hi Nabeel,<br>
<br>
You've got the sipping_bflag which enables sip OPTIONS ping for
a contact and remove_on_timeout_bflag which enables removing a
contact after max_pings_lost were not responded, the maximum
accepted response time for a ping being ping_threshold.<br>
By default the SIP OPTIONS ping is not activated, so you have to
enable those 2 flags and set them for each contact you want to ping.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Ionut Ionita<br>

<br>
I’m glad to announce a new feature that allows OpenSIPS to
monitor<br>
(via SIP OPTIONS probing) and disable/delete in realtime the
registrations<br>
which are not responding.<br>
The previous approach had two issues when came to so
called “zombie”<br>
registrations (registrations which are not valid anymore):<br>
* resources - such zombie registrations may waste
resources in your<br>
OpenSIPS server (memory, processing time, DB space, useless
NAT pinging,<br>
TCP connect attempts);<br>
* user experience - using the zombie registration to reach
un-existing<br>
users translates into useless calls (calls that will simply
timeout),<br>
giving delays in the call setup (instead of going straight to
VM, you may<br>
burn 5-10 seconds in trying to reach the user);<br>
The main idea behind these features is to delete contacts
that do not<br>
respond to a certain number of SIP pings. The SIP pinging is
provided by the<br>
nathelper module which was enhanced to keep the state of each
pinging requests<br>
(basically, the module is waiting and checking the reply of
each SIP request<br>
sent to the registered users). For registrations detected as
“dead” (not responding),<br>
the nathelper module interacts directly with the usrloc module
in order to<br>
remove the zombie contact.<br>
For usage perspective, the nathelper module now has two
new parameters:<br>
* ping_threshold - timeout to consider a ping as
unanswered;<br>
* max_pings_lost - the number of unresponded pings after
which the contact is<br>
removed from usrloc;<br>
In order to activate this feature, every contact must have
the sipping_bflag<br>
(to be pinged) and remove_on_timeout_bflag (to be deleted on
no-answer) activated.<br>
This means these flags must also be configured in the
nathelper module. [0]<br>
For full documentation of the nathelper module including
the newly added<br>
feature see [1]. Any feedback is highly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Ionut Ionita<br>
