1. Overview

   This module provides transaction storage for the Kamailio SIP Server
   Platform. It stores in an internal table transactions for a Request-URI
   (R-URI) and add branches to them later if new contacts for the AOR are
   added.

   For each message, the modules stores “Request-URI” (“R-URI”), URI and
   the internal transaction index and label.

   When a transaction is destroyed by the TM module, it is removed from
   the module's table too.

2. Dependencies

   2.1. Kamailio modules
   2.2. External libraries or applications

2.1. Kamailio modules

   The following modules must be loaded before this module:
     * REGISTRAR--registrar module-- used to lookup for new contacts and
       update the dset for the r-uri.
     * TM--transaction module-- used to send SIP requests.
     * SL

2.2. External libraries or applications

   The following libraries or applications must be installed before
   running Kamailio with this module:
     * none.

3. Parameters

   3.1. hash_size (integer)
   3.2. use_domain (integer)

3.1. hash_size (integer)

   The size of the hash table internally used to keep the transaction. A
   larger table is much faster but consumes more memory. The hash size
   must be a power of two, otherwise it will be rounded down to the
   nearest power of two.

   Default value is “2048”.

   Example 1.1. Set hash_size parameter
...
modparam("tsilo", "hash_size", 1024)
...

3.2. use_domain (integer)

   Specify if the domain part of the URI should be also saved and used for
   storing and retrieving users' transactions. Useful in multi domain
   scenarios. Non 0 value means true.

   Default value is “0”.

   Example 1.2. Set use_domain parameter
...
modparam("tsilo", "use_domain", 1)
...

4. Functions

   4.1. ts_store([uri])
   4.2. ts_append(domain, ruri)
   4.3. ts_append_to(tindex, tlabel, domain, [uri])

4.1. ts_store([uri])

   The method stores uri, tindex and tlabel of the current transaction. If
   the uri parameter is missing, then the value is taken from r-uri. The
   uri parameter can contain variables.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE.

   Example 1.3. ts_store usage
...
if (is_method("INVITE")) {
    if (t_newtran()) {
        ts_store();
        # t_store("sip:alice@$td");
    }
}
...

4.2. ts_append(domain, ruri)

   The method add branches to all the stored transactions for the SIP ruri
   passed as parameter, performing a contact lookup on the table specified
   by the domain parameter. The method should be called when a REGISTER
   request is received.

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * domain - Name of table that should be used for looking up new
       contacts for r-uri.
     * ruri - The r-uri for which we want to check existing transactions
       and add them new branches. Can be a static string value or a
       dynamic string with pseudo-variables.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE.

   Example 1.4. ts_append usage
...
if (is_method("REGISTER")) {
        ts_append("location", "$tU");
}
...

4.3. ts_append_to(tindex, tlabel, domain, [uri])

   The method add branches to the transaction identified by tindex and
   tlabel, performing a contacts lookup on the table specified by the
   domain parameter. The method should be called when a REGISTER request
   is received.

   Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
     * tindex - internal index of transaction. Can be an integer or a
       pseudo-variable.
     * tlabel - internal label of transaction. Can be an integer or a
       pseudo-variable.
     * domain - Name of table that should be used for looking up new
       contacts for r-uri.
     * uri (optiona) - uri for which to do lookup for new destinations.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE.

   Example 1.5. ts_append_to usage
...
if (is_method("REGISTER")) {
        $var(tindex) = ...
        $var(tlabel) = ...
        ts_append_to("$var(tindex)", "$var(tlabel", "location");
}
...
