It also offers an API with which you can register callbacks which are called after the HEP header is parsed and also can pack sip messages to HEP messages.The unpacking part is done internally.
Once loaded, you will be able to define HEP listeners in your configuration file by adding their IP and, optionally, a listening port. You can define both TCP and UDP listeners. On UDP you will be able to receive HEP v1, v2 and v3 packets, on TCP only HEPv3.
... #HEPv3 listener listen = hep_tcp:127.0.0.1:6061 # change the listening IP #HEPv1, v2, v3 listener listen = hep_udp:127.0.0.1:6061 # change the listening IP ...
The default port to be used by all TCP/UDP listeners.
Default value is 5656.
Time in milliseconds after a TCP connection will be closed if it is not available for blocking writing in this interval (and OpenSIPS wants to send something on it).
Default value is 100 ms.
The maximum number of chunks in which a HEP message is expected to arrive via TCP. If a received packet is more fragmented than this, the connection is dropped (either the connection is very overloaded and this leads to high fragmentation - or we are the victim of an ongoing attack where the attacker is sending very fragmented traffic in order to decrease server performance).
Default value is 32.
Example 1.3. Set hep_max_msg_chunks parameter
...
modparam("proto_hep", "hep_max_msg_chunks", 8)
...
Specifies whether the TCP connect and write operations should be done in an asynchronous mode (non-blocking connect and write) or not. If disabled, OpenSIPS will block and wait for TCP operations like connect and write.
Default value is 1 (enabled).
If hep_async is enabled, this specifies the maximum number of HEP messages that can be stashed for later/async writing. If the connection pending writes exceed this number, the connection will be marked as broken and dropped.
Default value is 32.
Example 1.5. Set hep_async_max_postponed_chunks parameter
...
modparam("proto_hep", "hep_async_max_postponed_chunks", 16)
...
The parameter indicate the capture agent ID for HEPv2/v3 protocol. Limitation: 16-bit integer.
Default value is "1".
If hep_async is enabled, this specifies the number of milliseconds that a connect will be tried in blocking mode (optimization). If the connect operation lasts more than this, the connect will go to async mode and will be passed to TCP MAIN for polling.
Default value is 100 ms.
Example 1.7. Set hep_async_local_connect_timeout parameter
...
modparam("proto_hep", "hep_async_local_connect_timeout", 200)
...
If hep_async is enabled, this specifies the number of milliseconds that a write op will be tried in blocking mode (optimization). If the write operation lasts more than this, the write will go to async mode and will be passed to bin MAIN for polling.
Default value is 10 ms.
Example 1.8. Set hep_async_local_write_timeout parameter
...
modparam("proto_hep", "tcp_async_local_write_timeout", 100)
...
The function packs connection details and sip message into HEP message. It's your job to free both the old and the new buffer.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
sockaddr_union *from - sockaddr_union describing sending socket
sockaddr_union *to - sockaddr_union describing receiving socket
int proto - protocol used in hep header;
char *payload SIP payload buffer
int plen SIP payload buffer length
char **retbuf HEP message buffer
int *retlen HEP message buffer length
The function register callbacks to be called whenever a HEP message is received. The callbacks parameters are struct hep_desc*(see hep.h for details) a structure that holds all details about the hep header and the receive_info* structure. The callback can return HEP_SCRIPT_SKIP which stops the HEP message from being passed thrrough scripts.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
hep_cb_t cb HEP callback
