It does not handle TCP connections management, but only offers higher-level primitives to read and write SIP messages over TCP.
Once loaded, you will be able to define TCP listeners in your script, by adding its IP, and optionally the listening port, in your configuration file, similar to this example:
... listen=tcp:127.0.0.1 # change the listening IP listen=tcp:127.0.0.1:5080 # change with the listening IP and port ...
The default port to be used for all TCP related operation. Be careful as the default port impacts both the SIP listening part (if no port is defined in the TCP listeners) and the SIP sending part (if the destination URI has no explicit port).
If you want to change only the listening port for TCP, use the port option in the SIP listener defintion.
Default value is 5060.
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 that a SIP message is expected to arrive via TCP. If a packet is received 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 the traffic very fragmented in order to decrease our performance).
Default value is 4.
Example 1.3. Set tcp_max_msg_chunks parameter
...
modparam("proto_tcp", "tcp_max_msg_chunks", 8)
...
Send CRLF pong (\r\n) to incoming CRLFCRLF ping messages over TCP. By default it is enabled (1).
Default value is 1 (enabled).
Drop CRLF (\r\n) ping messages. When this parameter is enabled, the TCP layer drops packets that contains a single CRLF message. If a CRLFCRLF message is received, it is handled according to the tcp_crlf_pingpong parameter.
Default value is 0 (disabled).
If the TCP connect and write operations should be done in an asynchronous mode (non-blocking connect and write). If disabled, OpenSIPS will block and wait for TCP operations like connect and write.
Default value is 1 (enabled).
If tcp_async is enabled, this specifies the maximum number of SIP 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 1.7. Set tcp_async_max_postponed_chunks parameter
...
modparam("proto_tcp", "tcp_async_max_postponed_chunks", 16)
...
If tcp_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 1.8. Set tcp_async_local_connect_timeout parameter
...
modparam("proto_tcp", "tcp_async_local_connect_timeout", 200)
...
If tcp_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 TCP MAIN for polling.
Default value is 10 ms.
Example 1.9. Set tcp_async_local_write_timeout parameter
...
modparam("proto_tcp", "tcp_async_local_write_timeout", 100)
...
2.1. | After switching to OpenSIPS 2.1, I'm getting this error: "listeners found for protocol tcp, but no module can handle it" |
You need to load the "proto_tcp" module. In your script, make sure you do a loadmodule "proto_tcp.so" after setting the mpath. | |
2.2. | I cannot locate "proto_tcp.so". Where is it? |
The "proto_udp" and "proto_tcp" modules are simply built into the opensips binary by default. They are not available as shared libraries, but look like modules for code consistency reasons. |
