*** Using TCP ***

After the invite is sent to the vcs, tcpdump at the opensips server showed 100, 180, and 200 OK responses from the vcs arriving and ACK'd correctly at the opensips server. The 100 response arrived 185ms after the invite is sent. But, I don't see these responses in the branch's onreply_route, the global onreply_route, or in the log at DBG level. netstat -t shows the connection with the data in the recv-q that never reaches 0. This implies to me that opensips is not polling that connection correctly for recv data.

If I disable tcp_async then the call is completed successfully. So in the case that works, I have tcp_connect_timeout=3000 and tcp_async=0.

Just to confirm the scenario: So the signaling is broken with "tcp_connect_timeout=3000 and tcp_async=1" (reply routes do not get triggered / recv-q keeps on growing), however once you switch to "tcp_async=0", everything is back to working?

*** Using TLS ***

Running tcpdump, I see the opensips server send a Client Hello then a FIN packet 100ms later. The vcs responds with a Server Hello 200ms after the Client Hello and this gets RST.

To workaround this case, I set tls_handshake_timeout=3000 and tls_send_timeout=1000. Maybe this is the correct behavior, I'm still not 100% sure how the tls parameters function.

This time, it's behaving as expected. Maybe there should be a diagram somewhere with how these parameters work together. For example, each TLS connection will roughly follow the below steps along with their corresponding parameterized timeouts:

1. TCP connect (tcp_connect_timeout)
2. TLS connect/accept handshake (tls_handshake_timeout)
3. TLS write (tls_send_timeout)
4. TLS write (tls_send_timeout)

Hi, Steve!

The transport layer was heavily refactored roughly three years ago, see [1], [2] and [3] for the relevant commits which, indeed, bumped the default connect timeout down a lot, to a much lower value (10s -> 100ms). Although 100ms might seem unnecessary (it's async! let it sleep as long as it wants!), keep in mind that the TLS support isn't async at all, yet it will also make use of the same, default "tcp_connect_timeout" - a 10s default here is quite bad for high traffic volume TLS proxies which often need to open up lots of TCP/TLS connections.

All in all, the "tcp_connect_timeout" should not get ignored at all. The "tcp_async_local_connect_timeout" [4] is the first one that hits, after which the connect waiting will be performed by a non-TCP worker, up to "tcp_connect_timeout" milliseconds. If it doesn't behave like this, let us know, and we'll look into it more.

    Hi,

    I've run into some issues related to tcp_async and tcp/tls
    timeouts since upgrading opensips from v1.8 to v2.3.

    Based on my v1.8 config, I had the tcp_connect_timeout set to 3
    secs but this gets ignored in v2.3 because tcp_async is enabled by
    default. As a result, calls made from a local opensips endpoint to
    a remote registered endpoint (through a cisco vcs) were failing. I
    then noticed that the tcp/tls timeouts were aggressively reduced
    from 10-30s to 100ms by default with the tcp_async feature.

    My main questions are:

    - How is the tcp_async feature supposed to function if the
    tcp_async_local_connect_timeout expires? The code seems to imply
    that the socket gets put onto a tcp main thread and handled.

    - 100ms seems pretty short as a default for these timeouts,
    especially tls. Does a timeout result in the sip request getting
    cancelled or is there still some processing that can occur after
    because of handling on the tcp main thread.

    In short, I'm a confused about what the tcp_async feature does and
    how the timeouts should be set. Any explanations would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Thanks for your time.

    steve
