1. Overview
The SL module allows the SIP server to act as a stateless UA server and
generate replies to SIP requests without keeping state. That is
beneficial in many scenarios, in which you wish not to burden server's
memory and scale well.
The SL module needs to filter ACKs sent after a local stateless reply
to an INVITE was generated. To recognize such ACKs, ser adds a special
"signature" in to-tags. This signature is sought for in incoming ACKs,
and if included, the ACKs are absorbed.
To speed up the filtering process, the module uses a timeout mechanism.
When a reply is sent, a timer us set. As long as the timer is valid,
the incoming ACK requests will be checked using TO tag value. Once the
timer expires, all the ACK messages are let through - a long time
passed till it sent a reply, so it does not expect any ACK that have to
be blocked.
The ACK filtering may fail in some rare cases. If you think these
matter to you, better use stateful processing (TM module) for INVITE
processing. Particularly, the problem happens when a UA sends an INVITE
which already has a to-tag in it (e.g., a re-INVITE) and the server
want to reply to it. Then, it will keep the current to-tag, which will
be mirrored in ACK. SER will not see its signature and forward the ACK
downstream. Caused harm is not bad--just a useless ACK is forwarded.
2. Parameters
2.1. default_code (int)
2.2. default_reason (str)
2.3. bind_tm (int)
2.1. default_code (int)
Default reply status code.
Default value is 500.
Example 1.1. default_code example
...
modparam("sl", "default_code", 505)
...
2.2. default_reason (str)
Default reply reason phrase.
Default value is 'Internal Server Error'.
Example 1.2. default_reason example
...
modparam("sl", "default_reason", "Server Error")
...
2.3. bind_tm (int)
Controls if SL module should attempt to bind to TM module in order to
send stateful reply when the transaction is created.
Default value is 1 (enabled).
Example 1.3. bind_tm example
...
modparam("sl", "bind_tm", 0) # feature disabled
...
3. Functions
3.1. sl_send_reply(code, reason)
3.2. send_reply(code, reason)
3.3. sl_reply_error()
3.4. sl_forward _reply([ code, [ reason ] ])
3.1. sl_send_reply(code, reason)
For the current request, a reply is sent back having the given code and
text reason. The reply is sent stateless, totally independent of the
Transaction module and with no retransmission for the INVITE's replies.
If the code is in the range 300-399 (redirect reply), the current
destination set is appended to the reply as Contact headers. The
destination set contains the request URI (R-URI), if it is modified
compared to the received one, plus the branches added to the request
(e.g., after an append_branch() or lookup("location")). If the R-URI
was changed but it is not desired to be part of the destination set, it
can be reverted using the function revert_uri().
Custom headers to the reply can be added using append_to_reply()
function from textops module.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
* code - Return code.
* reason - Reason phrase.
Example 1.4. sl_send_reply usage
...
sl_send_reply("404", "Not found");
...
3.2. send_reply(code, reason)
For the current request, a reply is sent back having the given code and
text reason. The reply is sent stateful or stateless, depending of the
TM module: if a transaction exists for the current request, then the
reply is sent statefully, otherwise stateless.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
* code - Return code.
* reason - Reason phrase.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE and FAILURE_ROUTE. It can
be used on ONREPLY_ROUTE executed by tm module (upon a t_on_reply()
callback).
Example 1.5. send_reply usage
...
send_reply("404", "Not found");
...
send_reply("403", "Invalid user - $fU");
...
3.3. sl_reply_error()
Sends back an error reply describing the nature of the last internal
error. Usually this function should be used after a script function
that returned an error code.
Example 1.6. sl_reply_error usage
...
sl_reply_error();
...
3.4. sl_forward _reply([ code, [ reason ] ])
Forward statelessy the current received SIP reply, with the option to
change the status code and reason text. The new code has to be in the
same class. The received reply is forwarded as well by core when the
config execution ended, unless it is dropped from config.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
* code - Status code.
* reason - Reason phrase.
This function can be used from ONREPLY_ROUTE.
Example 1.7. send_reply usage
...
if(status=="408")
sl_forward_reply("404", "Not found");
...
