<question>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Is it possible to use SER as a SIP user agent (both of User
|
|
Agent Client (UAC) and User Agent Server (UASS)?
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Not easily. SER has built-in some functions that allow to
|
|
use it as user agent, but our primary goal is to develop a
|
|
server so this is without guarantee and can even disappear
|
|
in future versions.

<question>
|

<simpara>
|
|
Can SER work well together with some of the location server
|
|
(e. g.LDAP or DNS) ?
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
SER's built-in location server uses
|
|
in-<acronym>RAM</acronym> database for high performance and
|
|
optionally MySQL for persistence. More database protocols
|
|
may be supplied on contractual basis. As far as I know,
|
|
<acronym>DNS</acronym> is not used in the industry for user
|
|
location.

|
What is a proxy server ?
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
A proxy server is an entity that routes SIP messages. See
|
|
SIP introduction which is part of the distribution.

<question>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
What is the difference between proxy server and back to back
|
|
user agent (B2BUA) ?
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
The main difference is that proxy servers are
|
|
transaction-stateful, while B2BUAs are call stateful. That
|
|
means proxy servers keep state only during SIP transactions
|
|
(that is at the beginning and and of a call) and do not
|
|
keep any state during the whole call.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
A B2BUA acts merely as connection of two or more user
|
|
agents which are connected through some means. B2BUAs keep
|
|
some state (usually some structures in the memory) during
|
|
the whole call.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This property gives B2BUA some interesting features that
|
|
proxies don't have. For example B2BUA can tear down and
|
|
existing call--proxies can't do that. On the other hand
|
|
B2BUAs can easily become a bottleneck in terms of
|
|
scalability.

I'd like to know if SER supports <acronym>CPL</acronym> and

</question>

<answer>

<simpara>
|

Yes, <acronym>CPL</acronym> is supported through cpl
|
|
module, the module needs an external <acronym>CPL</acronym>
|
|
interpreter written in Java. A C version is under
|
|
development. There is no support for Java servlets. The

documentation can be found at <ulink

SER is licensed under the GNU GPL. I would be surprised if
|
|
any SIP server available today would scale a bit better--we
|
|
spent lot of work on performance, achieved thousands of
|
|
<acronym>CPS</acronym> on a <acronym>PC</acronym>--I guess
|
|
it will take lot of time until your demand hits this
|
|
capacity.

No. It's nice to have it, but you can work around it

setting a normal A record for your domain. The

<acronym>SRV</acronym> lookup will fall back to normal A

|
lookup.

We have a question regarding usrloc: where are the active sessions

</simpara>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
SER has no notion of active session. SER is a
|
|
transaction-stateful proxy, that means it knows about
|
|
transactions (INVITE transaction, BYE transaction), but it
|
|
keeps no state if there is no transaction active.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
That means, it keeps state when an INVITE comes and until a
|
|
final response to the INVITE is sent. The same for BYE.

How do we deal with aliases? If for example uid=mic is

sip:mic@comnect.at. If I would want to be addressable with

michael.dosser@comnect.at how is this accomplished with ser

|
|
</simpara>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Aliases are tied to user location. It uses a special table
|
|
which has the same structure as user location table and
|
|
includes an entry for each alias. You do not have to do
|
|
something special for that. You have to create this table
|
|
and then you can use serctl to add aliases.

That's a theoretical SIP option today, SER is not supporting

that there was not any UA which would work with another one correctly.

in general a nice mechanism for avoiding session state silo in network,

</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
If you are using 0.8.10, it is a manual process--copy and paste
|
|
<acronym>SQL</acronym> tables, have a table set for each served domain, and
|
|
refer to the table names from your scripts. E.g.,
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
if (uri=~"domain1.com") { lookup("domain1"); ...
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
With 0.8.11 you can automate the process quite a lot. Authorization
|
|
functions with realm set to empty value take domain name from SIP
|
|
requests. User location database keeps track of domains as well. The
|
|
"domain" modules allows you to keep track of maintained domains
|
|
in a way which does not take changing scripts.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
It is possible there are some magic options in domain/usrloc/auth_db/
|
|
registrar/auth modules you need to turn on to enable multidomain
|
|
operation--I don't remember these by heart, hopefully some people
|
|
on the mailing list do.

modules=modules/mysql. Also, you can add it in the list of the default

compiled modules with: make all include_modules="mysql". Then

|
use: make install include_modules="mysql". To install only the

modules: make install-modules include_modules="mysql" or only

the mysql module: make install-modules modules=modules/mysql.

That depends on your requirements. Performance aspects are probably not very
|
|
important. The most stable and proven is MySQL module. Also serctl utility works
|
|
well with this database.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Another option is postgres support which was donated by Greg Fausak. The module
|
|
still new and not that mature (read proven) yet. People using the module
|
|
reported that it worked well.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Last option is dbtext module which uses plaintext files to store the data. This
|
|
module is somewhat experimental and shouldn't be used for any serious
|
|
deployment. The module is quite slow, but it can fit well into small
|
|
installations containing only a couple of users or demos where you need to change
|
|
the content of the database often by hand.
