<para>
Maximum time an INVITE transaction is allowed to be active (in
milliseconds). After this interval has passed from the transaction
creation, the transaction will be either moved into the wait state
or in the final response retransmission state, irrespective of the
transaction <varname>fr_inv_timer</varname> and
<varname>fr_timer</varname> values.
</para>
<para>
An INVITE transaction will be kept in memory for maximum:
<varname>max_inv_lifetime</varname>+<varname>fr_timer</varname>(from
the ack to the final reply wait)+<varname>wt_timer</varname>.
</para>
<para>
The main difference between this timer and
<varname>fr_inv_timer</varname> is that the
<varname>fr_inv_timer</varname> is per branch, while
<varname>max_inv_lifetime</varname> is per the whole transaction.
Even on a per branch basis <varname>fr_inv_timer</varname> could be
restarted. For example, by default if
<varname>restart_fr_on_each_reply</varname> is not cleared, the
<varname>fr_inv_timer</varname> will be restarted for each received
provisional reply. Even if <varname>restart_fr_on_each_reply</varname>
is not set the <varname>fr_inv_timer</varname> will still be restarted
for each increasing reply (e.g. 180, 181, 182, ...).
Another example when a transaction can live substantially more then its
<varname>fr_inv_timer</varname> and where
<varname>max_inv_lifetime</varname> will help is when dns failover is
used (each failed dns destination can introduce a new branch).

timer C value).

<para>
Maximum time a non-INVITE transaction is allowed to be active (in
milliseconds). After this interval has passed from the transaction
creation, the transaction will be either moved into the wait state
or in the final response retransmission state, irrespective of the
transaction <varname>fr_timer</varname> value.
It's the same as <varname>max_inv_lifetime</varname>, but for
non-INVITEs.

<section id="noisy_ctimer">
<title><varname>noisy_ctimer</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>
If set, INVITE transactions that time-out (FR INV timer) will be
always replied. If it's not set, the transaction has only one
branch and no response was ever received on this branch, it
will be silently dropped (no 408 reply will be generated)
This behavior is overridden if a request is forked, the transaction
has a failure route or callback, or some functionality explicitly
turned it on for a transaction (like acc does to avoid unaccounted
transactions due to expired timer).
Turn this off only if you know the client UACs will timeout and their
timeout interval for INVITEs is lower or equal than tm's
<varname>fr_inv_timer</varname>.
</para>

Default value is 1 (on).

<title><varname>restart_fr_on_each_reply</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>
If set (default), the <varname>fr_inv_timer</varname> for an INVITE
transaction will be restarted for each provisional reply received
(rfc3261 mandated behaviour). If not set, the
<varname>fr_inv_timer</varname> will be restarted only for the first
provisional replies and for increasing replies greater or equal 180
(e.g. 180, 181, 182, 185, ...).
</para>
<para>
Setting it to 0 is especially useful when dealing with bad UAs that
continuously retransmit 180s, not allowing the transaction to timeout
(and thus making impossible the implementation of certain services,
like automatic voicemail after x seconds).

<para>
If set (default) tm will automatically send and 100 reply to INVITEs.
</para>
<para>
Setting it to 0 one can be used to enable doing first some tests or
pre-processing on the INVITE and only if some conditions are met
manually send a 100 (using <function>t_reply()</function>). Note
however that in this case all the 100s have to be sent "by hand".
<function>t_set_auto_inv_100()</function> might help to selectively

<para>
If set (default), the final reply is a 401 or a 407 and more then
one branch received a 401 or 407, then all the WWW-Authenticate and
Proxy-Authenticate headers from all the 401 and 407 replies will
be aggregated in a new final reply. If only one branch received the
winning 401 or 407 then this reply will be forwarded (no new one
will be built).
If 0 only the first 401, or if no 401 was received the first 407, will
be forwarded (no header aggregation).

<section id="reparse_invite">
<title><varname>reparse_invite</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>
If set (default), the CANCEL and negative ACK requests are
constructed from the INVITE message which was sent out instead
of building them from the received request. The disadvantage is
that the outgoing INVITE has to be partially re-parsed, the advantage
is that the CANCEL/ACK is always RFC 3261-compliant, it always
contains the same route-set as the INVITE message. Do not disable
the INVITE re-parsing for example in the following cases:
</para>
<para>
- The INVITE contains a preloaded route-set, and SER forwards
the message to the next hop according to the Route header. The
Route header is not removed in the CANCEL without
<varname>reparse_invite</varname>=1.
</para>
<para>
- SER record-routes, thus an in-dialog INVITE contains a Route
header which is removed during loose routing. If the in-dialog
INVITE is rejected, the negative ACK still contains the Route
header without <varname>reparse_invite</varname>=1.
</para>
<para>
Default value is 1.

<para>
Header fields prefixed by this parameter value are included

in the outgoing INVITE.
</para>
<para>
Note, that the parameter value effects only those headers
which are not covered by RFC-3261 (which are neither mandatory
nor prohibited in CANCEL and ACK), and the parameter can be used
only together with <varname>reparse_invite</varname>=1.
</para>

<section id="blst_503">
<title><varname>blst_503</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>
If set and the blacklist support is enabled, every 503 reply source is
added to the blacklist. The initial blacklist timeout (or ttl) depends
on the presence of a Retry-After header in the reply and the values of
the following tm parameters: <varname>blst_503_def_timeout</varname>,
<varname>blst_503_min_timeout</varname> and

<para>
Bitmap of method types that trigger blacklisting on
transaction timeouts. (This setting has no
effect on blacklisting because of send failures.)
</para>
<para>
The following values are associated to the request methods:
INVITE=1, CANCEL=2, ACK=4 (not retransmitted, thus, never
times-out), BYE=8, INFO=16, REGISTER=32, SUBSCRIBE=64,
NOTIFY=126, OTHER=256 (all the unknown types).
Check parser/msg_parser.h for farther details.
</para>
<para>
Change the value carefully, because requests not having
provisional response (everything but INVITE) can easily
cause the next hop to be inserted into the blacklist
by mistake. For exmaple the next hop is a proxy, it is alive,
but waiting for the response of the UAS, and has higher
fr_timer value.

<section id="cancel_b_method">
<title><varname>cancel_b_method</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>
Method used when attempting to CANCEL an unreplied transaction branch
(a branch where no reply greater the 99 was received).
The possible values are 0, 1, and 2.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>0</emphasis> will immediately stop the request (INVITE)
retransmission on the branch and it will behave as if the branch was
immediately replied with a 487 (a fake internal 487 reply). The
advantage is the unreplied branches will be terminated immediately.
However it introduces a race risk with a possible slightly delayed
2xx reply. In this case we could have an UA receiving a 2xx after a
487. Moreover this risk is greatly amplified by packet loss
(e.g. if an 180 is lost the branch will look as unreplied and
a CANCEL will silently drop the branch, but a 2xx can still come at
a later time). This is the behaviour for ser versions older then 2.1.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>1</emphasis> will keep retransmitting the request on
unreplied branches. If a provisional answer is later received a CANCEL
will be immediately sent back (attempting to quickly trigger a 487).
This approach is race free and avoids the 2xx after 487 problem, but
it's more resource intensive: faced with a branch towards and UA that
doesn't answer, a CANCEL attempt will keep the transaction alive for
the whole timeout interval (<varname>fr_timer</varname>).
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>2</emphasis> will send and retransmit CANCEL even on
unreplied branches, stopping the request retransmissions. This has the
same advantages as <emphasis>1</emphasis> and also avoids the extra
roundtrip in the case of the provisional reply, but it's not RFC 3261
conforming (the RFC allows sending CANCELs only on pending branches).
</para>
<para>
The default value is 1.

<section id="reparse_on_dns_failover">
<title><varname>reparse_on_dns_failover</varname> (integer)</title>
<para>
If set to 1, the SIP message after a DNS failover is constructed
from the outgoing message buffer of the failed branch instead of
from the received request.
</para>
<para>
It must be set if multiple branches are installed, the SIP message is
modified differently in them, and at least one of them can result
in DNS failover. If the parameter is not set the per-branch modifications
are lost after the failover.
</para>
<para>
Note: If the parameter is set, branch route block and TMCB_REQUEST_FWDED
callback are not called in case of the failover.
</para>
<para>
Disadvantage: only the via header is replaced in the message buffer, so
the outgoing socket address is not corrected in any other part of the message.
It is dangerous on multihomed hosts: when the new SIP request after
the DNS failover is sent via different interface than the first request,
the message can contain incorrect ip address in the Record-Route header
for instance.

<para>
The value of fr_timer timer can be overriden on per-transaction
basis. The administrator can provide a value to be used for a
particular transaction in an AVP. This parameter contains the name
of the AVP that will be checked. If the AVP exists then its value
will be used for the fr_timer timer, effectively overriding the
value configured in <varname>fr_timer</varname> parameter for the
current transaction.
</para>
<para>
The value of this parameter is the the name of the AVP to be
checked, without the $ character or "$avp" prefix.
</para>
<note><para>
The value of the AVP is expected to be expressed in
<emphasis>seconds</emphasis> and not milliseconds (unlike the rest
of the timers).
</para></note>
<para>
This parameter is kept for backwards compatibility (hence its
value expressed in seconds instead of milliseconds and its arcane
way of specifying the avps). The recommended replacement is using
<function>t_set_fr()</function> on a per transaction basis.

<section id="unmatched_cancel">

<para>
This parameter selects between forwarding CANCELs
that do not match any transaction statefully (0,
default value), statelessly (1) or dropping them
(2). Note that the statefull forwarding has an
additional hidden advantage: tm will be able to
recognize INVITEs that arrive after their CANCEL.
Note also that this feature could be used to try
a memory exhaustion DOS attack against a proxy that
authenticates all requests, by continuously flooding
the victim with CANCELs to random destinations
(since the CANCEL cannot be authenticated, each
received bogus CANCEL will create a new transaction
that will live by default 30s).
</para>

Default value is 0.

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>0</emphasis> - all branches are kept, no matter a new leg of
serial forking has been started. Beware that if the new leg fails, you
may get in failure_route a reply code from a branch of previous serial
forking legs (e.g., if in first leg you got a 3xx, then you handled
the redirection in failure route, sent to a new destination and this
one timeout, you will get again the 3xx). Use t_drop_replies() on per
transaction fashion to control the behavior you want. It is the
default behaviour comming from SER 2.1.x.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>1</emphasis> - all branches are discarded by default. You
can still overwrite the behaviour via t_drop_replies()
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>2</emphasis> - by default only the branches of previous leg
of serial forking are discarded
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<emphasis>3</emphasis> - all previous branches are discarded if there
is a new serial forking leg. This is the default behaviour coming from
Kamailio 1.5.x. Use this mode if you don't want to handle in a per
transaction fashion with t_drop_replies(). It ensures that you will
get the winning reply from the branches of last serial forking step
(e.g., if in first step you get 3xx, then you forward to a new
destination, you will get in failure_route the reply coming from that
destination or a local timeout).
