Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

User location module. The module keeps a user location table and provides access to the table to other modules. The module exports no functions that could be used directly from scripts.

1.1.1. Contact matching

How the contacts are matched (for same AOR - Address of Record) is an important aspect of the usrloc modules, especialy in the context of NAT traversal - this raise mre problems since contacts from different phones of same users may overlap (if behind NATs with same configuration) or the re-register contact of same phone may be seen as a new one (due different binding via NAT).

The SIP RFC 3261 publishes a matching algorithm based only on the contact string with callid and cseq number extra checking (if callid is the same, it must have a higher cseq number, otherwise invalid). But as argumented above, this is not enough in NAT traversal context, so the OpenSIPS implementation of contact machting offers more algorithms:

  • contact based only - strict RFC 3261 compliancy - the contact is matched as string and extra checked via callid and cseq (if callid is the same, it must have a higher cseq number, otherwise invalid).

  • contact and callid based - an extension of the first case - the contact and callid must match as strings; the cseq must be higher than the previous one - so be careful how you deal with REGISTER retransmissions in this case.

For more details on how to control/select the contact matching algorithm, please see the module parameter matching_mode at Section 1.3.23, “matching_mode (integer)”.

1.1.2. Contact replication

Starting from OpenSIPS 1.11, the usrloc module offers the possibility of performing real-time mirroring of the entire in-memory user location information of one OpenSIPS instance to one or more other instances. This module-to-module communication is UDP-based, and it is done through the Binary Interface.

Advantages of replicating user-location data using this feature instead of sending duplicated SIP REGISTER requests:

  • no message parsing required

  • reduced bandwith usage

  • no additional script logic needed

In order to control the DB operations performed by the receiving instance(s), the skip_replicated_db_ops parameter can be set. To summarise, the replication logic works together with the DB modes as follows:

  • 0 (No DB) - only in-memory data is replicated (no DB operations are performed at all)

  • 1 (Write through) and 2 (Write back) - default behaviour on all instances, skip_replicated_db_ops can be set on the receiving ones

  • 3 (DB only) - data replication is OFF

Configuring both receival and sending of usrloc replication packets is trivial and can be done by using the accept_replicated_contacts and replicate_contacts_to parameters of the module.

Note that for certain scenarios, where NAT or multihomed interfaces are involved, you might need to preserve the same interface among all the OpenSIPS servers within the replication cluster. Otherwise when an instance receives a replicated contact for whom it does not have a listener, it will use a different listener of his.

modparam("usrloc", "db_url", "dbdriver://username:password@dbhost/dbname")
...

1.3.22. db_mode (integer)

The usrloc module can utilize database for persistent contact storage. If you use database, your contacts will survive machine restarts or SW crashes. The disadvantage is that accessing database can be very time consuming. Therefore, usrloc module implements four database accessing modes:

  • 0 - This disables database completely. Only memory will be used. Contacts will not survive restart. Use this value if you need a really fast usrloc and contact persistence is not necessary or is provided by other means.

  • 1 - Write-Through scheme. All changes to usrloc are immediately reflected in database too. This is very slow, but very reliable. Use this scheme if speed is not your priority but need to make sure that no registered contacts will be lost during crash or reboot.

  • 2 - Write-Back scheme. This is a combination of previous two schemes. All changes are made to memory and database synchronization is done in the timer. The timer deletes all expired contacts and flushes all modified or new contacts to database. Use this scheme if you encounter high-load peaks and want them to process as fast as possible. The mode will not help at all if the load is high all the time. Also, latency of this mode is much lower than latency of mode 1, but slightly higher than latency of mode 0.

  • 3 - DB-Only scheme. No memory cache is kept, all operations being directly performed with the database. The timer deletes all expired contacts from database - cleans after clients that didn't un-register or re-register. The mode is useful if you configure more servers sharing the same DB without any replication at SIP level. The mode may be slower due the high number of DB operation. For example NAT pinging is a killer since during each ping cycle all nated contact are loaded from the DB; The lack of memory caching also disable the statistics exports.

Warning

In case of crash or restart contacts that are in memory only and haven't been flushed yet will get lost. If you want minimize the risk, use shorter timer interval.

Default value is 0.

Example 1.22. Set db_mode parameter

...
modparam("usrloc", "db_mode", 2)
...

1.3.23. matching_mode (integer)

What contact matching algorithm to be used. Refer to section Section 1.1.1, “Contact matching” for the description of the algorithms.

The parameter may take the following values:

  • 0 - CONTACT ONLY based matching algorithm.

  • 1 - CONTACT and CALLID based matching algorithm.

Default value is 0 (CONTACT_ONLY).

Example 1.23. Set matching_mode parameter

...
modparam("usrloc", "matching_mode", 1)
...

1.3.24. cseq_delay (integer)

Delay (in seconds) for accepting as retransmissions register requests with same Call-ID and Cseq. The delay is calculated starting from the receiving time of the first register with that Call-ID and Cseq.

Retransmissions within this delay interval will be accepted and replied as the original request, but no update will be done in location. If the delay is exceeded, error is reported.

A value of 0 disable the retransmission detection.

Default value is 20 seconds.

Example 1.24. Set cseq_delay parameter

...
modparam("usrloc", "cseq_delay", 5)
...

1.3.25. accept_replicated_contacts (integer)

Set this to a valid cluster id in order to accept and process user-location related information received from other OpenSIPS instances, that belong to the specified cluster id, through the Binary Interface.

Default value is 0 (no cluster id specified) - Binary Interface listeners (if any) will simply ignore any usrloc-related packets

More details on the user location replication mechanism are available in Section 1.1.2, “Contact replication”

Example 1.25. Setting the accept_replicated_contacts parameter

...
modparam("usrloc", "accept_replicated_contacts", 1)
...

1.3.26. replicate_contacts_to (integer)

Defines the OpenSIPS instances that belong to a ceratin cluster which will receive all the user-location related information from this machine (addresses-of-record, contacts), organized into specific events (inserts, deletes or updates)

Default value is 0 (no cluster id specified)

More details on the user location replication mechanism are available in Section 1.1.2, “Contact replication”

Example 1.26. Setting the replicate_contacts_to parameter

...
modparam("usrloc", "replicate_contacts_to", 1)
...

1.3.27. skip_replicated_db_ops (int)

Prevent OpenSIPS from performing any DB-related contact operations when events are received over the Binary Interface. This is commonly used to prevent unneeded duplicate operations.

Default value is "0" (upon receival of usrloc-related Binary Interface events, DB queries may be freely performed)

More details on the user location replication mechanism are available in Section 1.1.2, “Contact replication”

Example 1.27. Setting the skip_replicated_db_ops parameter

...
modparam("usrloc", "skip_replicated_db_ops", 1)
...

1.3.28. max_contact_delete (int)

Relevant only in WRITE_THROUGH or WRITE_BACK schemes. The maximum number of contacts to be deleted from the database at once. Will delete all of them, if fewer after passing through all the contacts.

Default value is "10"

Example 1.28. Setting the max_contact_delete parameter

...
modparam("usrloc", "max_contact_delete", 10)
...

1.3.29. hash_size (integer)

The number of entries of the hash table used by usrloc to store the location records is 2^hash_size. For hash_size=4, the number of entries of the hash table is 16. Since version 2.2, the maximu size of this parameter is 16, meaning that the hash supports maximum 65536 entries.

Default value is 9.

Example 1.29. Set hash_size parameter

...
modparam("usrloc", "hash_size", 10)
...

1.3.30. regen_broken_contactid (integer)

Since version 2.2, contact_id concept was introduced. Since this parameter validates a contact each time OpenSIPS is started, there are times when the value of this parameter should be regenerated. That is when location table is being migrated from a version older than 2.2 or when hash_size module parameter is changed. Enabling this parameter will regenerate broken contact id's based on current configurations.

Default value is 0(not enabled)

Example 1.30. Set regen_broken_contactid parameter

...
modparam("usrloc", "regen_broken_contactid", 1)
...

2.1. Available Functions

2.1.1.  ul_register_domain(name)

The function registers a new domain. Domain is just another name for table used in registrar. The function is called from fixups in registrar. It gets name of the domain as a parameter and returns pointer to a new domain structure. The fixup than 'fixes' the parameter in registrar so that it will pass the pointer instead of the name every time save() or lookup() is called. Some usrloc functions get the pointer as parameter when called. For more details see implementation of save function in registrar.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • const char* name - Name of the domain (also called table) to be registered.

2.1.2.  ul_insert_urecord(domain, aor, rec, is_replicated)

The function creates a new record structure and inserts it in the specified domain. The record is structure that contains all the contacts for belonging to the specified username.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • udomain_t* domain - Pointer to domain returned by ul_register_udomain.

  • str* aor - Address of Record (aka username) of the new record (at this time the record will contain no contacts yet).

  • urecord_t** rec - The newly created record structure.

  • char is_replicated - Specifies whether this function will be called from the context of a Binary Interface callback. If uncertain, simply use 0.

2.1.3.  ul_delete_urecord(domain, aor, is_replicated)

The function lock the specified domain, it means, that no other processes will be able to access during the time. This prevents race conditions. Scope of the lock is the specified domain, that means, that multiple domain can be accessed simultaneously, they don't block each other.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • udomain_t* domain - Domain to be locked.

2.1.6.  ul_unlock_udomain(domain)

Unlock the specified domain previously locked by ul_lock_udomain.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • udomain_t* domain - Domain to be unlocked.

2.1.7.  ul_release_urecord(record, is_replicated)

Do some sanity checks - if all contacts have been removed, delete the entire record structure.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • urecord_t* record - Record to be released.

  • char is_replicated - Specifies whether this function will be called from the context of a Binary Interface callback. If uncertain, simply use 0.

2.1.8.  ul_insert_ucontact(record, contact, contact_info, contact, is_replicated)

The function inserts a new contact in the given record with specified parameters.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • urecord_t* record - Record in which the contact should be inserted.

  • str* contact - Contact URI.

  • ucontact_info_t* contact_info - Single structure containing the new contact information

  • char is_replicated - Specifies whether this function will be called from the context of a Binary Interface callback. If uncertain, simply use 0.

2.1.9.  ul_delete_ucontact (record, contact, is_replicated)

The function deletes given contact from record.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • urecord_t* record - Record from which the contact should be removed.

  • ucontact_t* contact - Contact to be deleted.

  • char is_replicated - Specifies whether this function will be called from the context of a Binary Interface callback. If uncertain, simply use 0.

2.1.10.  ul_delete_ucontact_from_id (domain, contact_id)

The function deletes a contact with the given contact_id from the given domain.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • udomain_t* domain - Domain where the contact can be found.

  • uint64_t contact_id - Contact_id identifying the contact to be deleted.

2.1.11.  ul_get_ucontact(record, contact)

The function tries to find contact with given Contact URI and returns pointer to structure representing the contact.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • urecord_t* record - Record to be searched for the contact.

  • str_t* contact - URI of the request contact.

2.1.12.  ul_get_domain_ucontacts (domain, buf, len, flags)

The function retrieves all contacts of all registered users from the given doamin and returns them in the caller-supplied buffer. If the buffer is too small, the function returns positive value indicating how much additional space would be necessary to accommodate all of them. Please note that the positive return value should be used only as a hint, as there is no guarantee that during the time between two subsequent calls number of registered contacts will remain the same.

If flag parameter is set to non-zero value then only contacts that have the specified flags set will be returned. It is, for example, possible to list only contacts that are behind NAT.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • udomaint_t* domain - Domain from which to get the contacts

  • void* buf - Buffer for returning contacts.

  • int len - Length of the buffer.

  • unsigned int flags - Flags that must be set.

2.1.13.  ul_get_all_ucontacts (buf, len, flags)

The function retrieves all contacts of all registered users and returns them in the caller-supplied buffer. If the buffer is too small, the function returns positive value indicating how much additional space would be necessary to accommodate all of them. Please note that the positive return value should be used only as a hint, as there is no guarantee that during the time between two subsequent calls number of registered contacts will remain the same.

If flag parameter is set to non-zero value then only contacts that have the specified flags set will be returned. It is, for example, possible to list only contacts that are behind NAT.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • void* buf - Buffer for returning contacts.

  • int len - Length of the buffer.

  • unsigned int flags - Flags that must be set.

2.1.14.  ul_update_ucontact(record, contact, contact_info, is_replicated)

The function updates contact with new values.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • urecord_t* record - Record in which the contact should be inserted.

  • ucontact_t* contact - Contact URI.

  • ucontact_info_t* contact_info - Single structure containing the new contact information

  • char is_replicated - Specifies whether this function will be called from the context of a Binary Interface callback. If uncertain, simply use 0.

2.1.15.  ul_bind_ursloc( api )

The function imports all functions that are exported by the USRLOC module. Overs for other modules which want to user the internal USRLOC API an easy way to load and access the functions.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • usrloc_api_t* api - USRLOC API

2.1.16.  ul_register_ulcb(type ,callback, param)

The function register with USRLOC a callback function to be called when some event occures inside USRLOC.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • int types - type of event for which the callback should be called (see usrloc/ul_callback.h).

  • ul_cb f - callback function; see usrloc/ul_callback.h for prototype.

  • void *param - some parameter to be passed to the callback each time when it is called.

2.1.17.  ul_get_num_users()

The function loops through all domains summing up the number of users.
