The OpenSIPs configuration script has three main logical parts :

1. global parameters
2. modules section
3. routing logic

Global parameters

Usually, in the first part, you declare the OpenSIPS global parameters - these global or core parameters are affecting the OpenSIPS core and possible the modules.

Configuring the network listeners, available transport protocols, forking (and number of processes), the logging and other global stuff is provided by these global parameters.

Example:

disable_tcp = yes
listen = udp:192.168.2.10:5060
listen = udp:192.168.2.10:5070
fork = yes
children = 4
log_stderror = no

Modules section

In regards to the OpenSIPS modules,the modules that are to be loaded (no module is loaded by default) are specified by using the directive loadmodule. Modules are to be specified by name and an optional path (to the .so file). If no path is provided (and just the name of the module), the default path will be assumed for locating the loading the module (default path is /usr/lib/opensips/modules if not other one configured at compile time?. For configuring a different path, either the path is pushed directly with the module name (to get control per module) or it can be globally (for all modules) configured via the mpath global parameter.

Once the modules are loaded, the parameters of the modules may be set using the modparam directive - to list of available parameters for each module, the type of parameter value (integer or string) can be found in the documentation of the modules, the Parameters section.

Examples:

loadmodule "modules/mi_datagram/mi_datagram.so"
modparam("mi_datagram", "socket_name", "udp:127.0.0.1:4343")
modparam("mi_datagram", "children_count", 3)

or

mpath="/usr/local/opensips_proxy/lib/modules"
loadmodule "mi_datagram.so"
modparam("mi_datagram", "socket_name", "udp:127.0.0.1:4343")
modparam("mi_datagram", "children_count", 3)
loadmodule "mi_fifo.so"
modparam("mi_fifo", "fifo_name", "/tmp/opensips_fifo")

Routing logic

The routing logic is actually a sum of routes (script routes) that contain the OpenSIPS logic for routing SIP traffic. The description of OpenSIPS behavior in relation to the SIP traffic is done via this routes.

There are different types of routes :

1. top routes - routes that are directly triggered by OpenSIPs when some events occurs (like SIP request received, SIP reply received, transaction failed, etc)
2. sub-routes - routes that are triggered / used from other routes in script.

What are the existing top routes, when they are triggered, what kind of SIP messages is handled, what SIP operations are allowed and other are documented in the types of routes section.

The sub-routes have IDs and they are to be called from any other route (top or sub) in the script via their ID. The sub-routes may return a numerical code (avoid returning 0 value as this will terminate your whole script. The sub-routes are similar to functions / procedure in any programing language. See the description of the route directive.

Example:

route { # top route triggered on incoming SIP requests
   if ( route(10) ) {
      xlog("request $rm comes from GW\n");
   }
}

onreply_route { # top route triggered on incoming SIP replies
   if ( route(10 ) {
      xlog("reply $rc comes from GW\n");
   }
}

route[10] { #sub-route to test if src is a GW
   if ($si=='11.22.33.44' || $si=='11.22.33.45')
      return 1;
   return -1;
}
