Hi John,

Indeed, depending on the nature of the query, some answers can be cached, other not. If not, you need to be sure your DB server is as efficient as possible in answering. Accounting via flatstore file can be realtime (data is written in RT into file and you can rote them when you need).

The next 2.1 is the first OpenSIPS version supporting Async I/O ops. There are many kinds of I/O ops and used in many places. It is hard to add async support for all of them from the day one. The current plan is to have support for exec module, for rest_client module and possible for some mysql queries. In the worst case, you can push your DB queries into external scripts and use the "exec" module with the async support.

Hello Bogdan,

Thank you. Cache features are really good and I am using for Register and Invite auth but I need to run a query to find out allowed duration for a call (unfortunately caching cannot be used in that). Also Accounting I am afraid has to be real time in my case.

I think i should look forward to version 2.X till the features I need are there. Any guess how long full featured development version will be out?

John

    Hi Nash,

    It is somewhere in the middle :). Of course the DB ops will bring
    some penalties to the performance, so you need to take care and
    tune your DB for the best performance (not to drag down opensips).
    With db ops is very common in OpenSIPS scripts, so you do not do
    anything crazy or stupid there.

    Of course, you should look into optimizing the DB ops you use:
        - DB auth - use caching at script level (see
    http://www.opensips.org/Documentation/Tutorials-MemoryCaching)
        - ACC - consider using db_flatstore to avoid writing into a
    real DB
        - dialog - if not really a must use db modes 2 or 3
    (http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.11.x/dialog.html#id294001)

    I have used opensips for load balancing and some border proxy+
    NAT+rtpproxy in past and am quite happy with it. Recently I
    decided to add DB operations (Auth and accounting, routing and
    dialog into it so that heavy lifting of VOIP network can be given
    to opensips. I wanted to send call to PBX only when it is really
    needed (Like voicemail and conference etc)

    But in a long time I saw this article
    http://www.opensips.org/Documentation/TroubleShooting-FindPerfPb

    As per this tutorial I think if any DB operation is slow, it will
    hit overall performance (I mean the transactions which do not
    require DB can also be stuck).

    I know good engineers at openisps have already figured it out and
    working on 2.X version but looks like it will take a while so
    that I can give it a try (As dialog is not in current release).

    With 1.X series + DB auth/acc + dialog should I reconsider my
    approach or there are systems running successfully and I am just
    being paranoid?
