1.1. Overview

1.1.1. Introduction

Dynamic Routing is a module for selecting (based on multiple criteria) the best gateway/destination to be used for delivering a certain call. Least Cost Routing (LCR) is a special case of dynamic routing - when the rules are ordered based on costs. Dynamic Routing comes with many features regarding routing rule selection:

  • prefix based

  • caller/group based

  • time based

  • priority based

, processing :

  • stripping and prefixing

  • default rules

  • inbound and outbound processing

  • script route triggering

and failure handling:

  • serial forking

  • weight based GW selection

  • random GW selection

  • GW probing for crashes

1.1.2. Features

The dynamic routing implementation for OpenSIPS is designed with the following properties:

  • The routing info (destinations, carriers, rules, groups) is stored in a database and loaded into memory at start up time; reload at runtime via a Management Interface command.

  • weight-based or random selection of the destinations (from a rule or from a carrier), failure detection of gateways (with switching to next available gateway).

  • able to handle large volume of routing info (10M of rules) with minimal speed/time and memory consumption penalties

  • script integration - Pseudo-variable support in functions; scripting route triggering when rules are matched

  • bidirectional behavior - inbound and outbound processing (strip and prefixing when sending and receiving from a destination/GW)

  • blacklisting - the module allows definition of blacklists based on the destination IPs. This blacklists are to be used to prevent malicious forwarding to GWs (based on DNS lookups) when the script logic does none-GE forwarding (like foreign domains).

  • loading routing information from multiple databases - the gateways, rules, groups and carriers can be grouped by partitions, and each partition may be loaded from different databases/tables. This makes the routing process partition based. In order to be able to use a table from a partition, its name must be found in the "version" table belonging to the database defined in the partition's db_url.

1.1.3. Performance

There were several tests performed regarding the performance of the module when dealing with a large number of routing rules.

The tests were performed with a set of 383000 rules and measured:

  • time to load from DB

  • used shared memory

The time to load was varying between 4 seconds and 8 seconds, depending of the caching of the DB client - the first load was the slowest (as the DB query hits the disk drive); the following are faster as data is already cached in the DB client. So technically speaking, the time to load (without the time to query which is DB type dependent) is ~4 seconds

After loading the data into shared memory ~ 96M of memory were used exclusively for the DR data.

1.1.4. Dynamic Routing Concepts

DR engine uses several concepts in order to define how the routing should be done (describing all the dependencies between destinations and routing rules).

1.1.4.1. Destination/Gateways

These are the end SIP entities where actually the traffic needs to be sent after routing. They are stored in a table called dr_gateways. Gateway addresses are stored in a separate table because of the need to access them independent of Dynamic Routing processing (e.g., adding/ removing gateway PRI prefix before/after performing other operation -- receiving/relaying to gateway).

In DR, a gateway is defined by:

  • id (string)

  • SIP address (SIP URI)

  • type (integer which allows GWs to be grouped by purpose, e.g. inbound, outbound, etc.)

  • strip value (number of digits) from dialled number

  • prefix (string) to be added to dialled number

  • attributes (not used by DR engine, but only pushed to script level when routing to this GW)

  • probing mode (how the GW should be probed at SIP level - see the probing chapter)

The Gateways are to be used from the routing rule or from the carrier definition. They are all the time referred by their ID.

1.1.4.2. Carriers

The carrier concept is used if you need to group gateways in order to have a better control on how the GWs will be used by DR rules; like in what order the GWs will be used.

Basically, a carrier is a set of gateways which have its own sorting algorithm and its own attribute string. They are by default defined in the dr_carriers table.

In DR, a carrier is defined by:

  • id (string)

  • list of gateways with/without weights (string) (Ex:gw1=10,gw4=10 or gw1,gw2

  • flags : 0x1 - use only the first gateway from the carrier (depending on the sorting); 0x2 - disable the usage of this carrier

  • sort algorithm : how the list of the gateways should be sorted before being used, NULL - use the DB given order, W - do weight based re-ordering, Q - do quality based sorting (requires the qrouting module)

  • attributes (not used by DR engine, but only pushed to script level when routing to this carrier)

The Carriers are to be used only from the routing rule definition. They are all the time referred by their ID.

1.1.4.3. Routing Rules

These are the actual rules which control the routing. Using different criterias (prefix, time, priority, etc), they will decide to which gateways the call will be sent.

Default name for the table storing rule definitions is dr_rules.

In DR, a routing rule is defined by:

  • group (list of numbers) - rules can be grouped (a rule may belong to multiple groups in the same time ) and you can use only a certain group at a point; like having a premium or standard or interstate or intrastate groups of rules to be used in different cases

  • prefix (string with digits only) - prefix to be used for matching this rule (longest prefix matching)

  • time validity (time recurrence string) - when this rule is valid from time point of view (see RFC 2445)

  • priority (number) - priority of the rule - higher value, higher priority (see rule section alg)

  • script route ID (string) - if defined, then execute the route with the specified ID when this rule is matched. That's it, a route which can be used to perform custom operations on message. NOTE that no modification is performed at signaling level and you must NOT do any signaling operations in that script route

  • list of GWs/carriers (string) - a comma separated list of gateways or carriers (defined by IDs) to be used for this rule; the carrier IDs are prefixed with # sign. For each ID (GW or carrier) you may specify a weight. For how this list will be interpreted (as order) see the rule selection section. Example of list: gw1,gw4,#cr3 or gw1=10,gw4=10,#cr3=80

  • attributes (not used by DR engine, but only pushed to script level when this rule matched and been used)

More on time recurrence:

  • A date-time expression that defines the time recurrence to be matched for current rule. Time recurrences are based closely on the recurring time intervals from the Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (calendar COS), RFC 2445. The set of attributes used in a routing rule specification is a subset of time recurrence attributes.

  • The value stored in database has the basic format of: <timezone>|<dtstart>|<dtend>|<duration>|<freq>|<until>|<interval>|<byday>|<bymonthday>|<byyearday>|<byweekno>|<bymonth> , identical to the input of the check_time_rec() function of the cfgutils module, including the optional use of logical operators linking multiple such strings into a larger expression.

  • When an attribute is not specified, the corresponding place must be left empty, whenever another attribute that follows in the list has to be specified.

1.1.5. Routing Rule Processing

The module can be used to find out which is the best gateway to use for new calls terminated to PSTN. The algorithm to select the rule is as follows:

  • the module discovers the routing group of the originating user. This step is skipped if a routing group is passed from the script as parameter.

  • once the group is known, in the subset of the rules for this group the module looks for the one that matches the destination based on "prefix" column. The set of rules with the longest prefix is chosen. If no digit from the prefix matches, the default rules are used (rules with no prefix)

  • within the set of rules is applied the time criteria, and the rule which has the highest priority and matches the time criteria is selected to drive the routing.

  • Once found the rule, it may contain a route ID to execute. If a certain flag is set, then the processing is stopped after executing the route block.

  • The rule must contain a chain of gateways and carriers. The module will execute serial forking for each address in the chain (ordering is either done by simply using the definition order or it may weight-based - weight selection must be enabled). The next address in chain is used only if the previously has failed.

  • With the right gateway address found, the prefix (PRI) of the gateway is added to the request URI and then the request is forwarded.

If no rule is found to match the selection criteria an default action must be taken (e.g., error response sent back). If the gateway in the chain has no prefix the request is forwarded without adding any prefix to the request URI.

1.1.6. Probing and Disabling destinations

The module has the capability to monitor the status of the destinations by doing SIP probing (sending SIP requests like OPTIONS).

For each destination, you can configure what kind of probing should be done (probe_mode column):

  • (0) - no probing at all;

  • (1) - probing only when the destination is in disabled mode (disabling via MI command will completely stop the probing also). The destination will be automatically re-enabled when the probing will succeed next time;

  • (2) - probing all the time. If disabled, the destination will be automatically re-enabled when the probing will succeed next time;

A destination can become disabled in two ways:

  • script detection - by calling from script the dr_disable() function after trying the destination. In this case, if probing mode for the destination is (1) or (2), the destination will be automatically re-enabled when the probing will succeed.
  • MI command - by calling the dr_gw_status MI command for disabling (on demand) the destination. If so, the probing and re-enabling of this destination will be completly disabled until you re-enable it again via MI command - this is designed to allow controlled and complete disabling of some destination during maintenance.

...

1.3.22. probing_socket (string)

A socket description [proto:]host[:port] of the local socket (which is used by OpenSIPS for SIP traffic) to be used (if multiple) for sending the probing messages from.

For probing gateway the highest priority has socket from gateway configuration in dr_gateways table. Then socket from global probing_socket parameter and the lowest priority is default behaviour with auto selected socket wich OpenSIPS listens on.

Default value is NULL.

Example 1.22. Set probing_socket parameter

...
modparam("drouting", "probing_socket", "udp:192.168.1.100:5060")
...

1.3.23. gw_socket_filter_mode (string)

This parameter controls the gateway filtering during DB loading, or which gateways are loaded or not into memory depending on the configured socket they have.

The supported filtering modes are:

  • "all" - all the gateways defined in DB are loaded into memory, disregarding what socket value they have. NOTE: for the gw sockets not matching any OpenSIPS listeners/sockets, the GW will be loaded with NULL/no socket.

  • "ignore" - all the gateways defined in DB are loaded into memory, but ignoring the socket value they have (the socket will be set to NULL/NONE with no attempt to check it against the OpenSIPS listeners/sockets).

  • "matched-only" - in this mode the module will load from DB only the gateways that have a configured a socket matching any of the the OpenSIPS listeners/sockets. If the gateways socket does not match, it will be discards, not loaded into memory at all.

Default value is "all".

Example 1.23. Set gw_socket_filter_mode parameter

...
# multiple OpenSIPS instances sharing a DR setting, so each should
# load only the GWs they have sockets for.
modparam("drouting", "gw_socket_filter_mode", "matched-only")
...
# an OpenSIPs instance not doing routing, but needing to be
# aware of all the gws, so load them all ignoring the sockets
modparam("drouting", "gw_socket_filter_mode", "ignore")
...

1.3.24. cluster_id (integer)

The ID of the cluster the module is part of. The clustering support is used in drouting module for two purposes: for sharing the status of the gateways/carriers and for controlling the pinging to gateways.

If clustering enbled, the module will automatically share changes over the status of the gateways/destinations/carriers with the other OpenSIPS instances that are part of a cluster. Whenever such a status changes (following an MI command, a probing result, a script command), the module will replicate this status change to all the nodes in this given cluster.

The clustering with sharing tag support may be used to control which node in the cluster will perform the pinging/probing to gateways. See the cluster_sharing_tag option.

For more info on how to define and populate a cluster (with OpenSIPS nodes) see the "clusterer" module.

Default value is 0 (none).

Example 1.24. Set cluster_id parameter

...
# replicate gw/carrier status with all OpenSIPS in cluster ID 9
modparam("drouting", "cluster_id", 9)
...

1.3.25. cluster_sharing_tag (string)

The name of the sharing tag (as defined per clusterer modules) to control which node is responsible for perform the self-triggered actions in the module. Such actions may be the gateway probing (see also the cluster_probing_mode parameter) or sharing the gateway/carrier status changes. If defined, only the node with active status of this tag will perform the actions (pinging and sharing status).

The cluster_id must be defined for this option to work.

This is an optional parameter. If not set, all the nodes in the cluster will share the status changes.

Default value is empty (none).

Example 1.25. Set cluster_sharing_tag parameter

...
# only the node with the active "vip" sharing tag will perform pinging
# and broadcast the status changes
modparam("drouting", "cluster_id", 9)
modparam("drouting", "cluster_sharing_tag", "vip")
...

1.3.26. cluster_probing_mode (string)

This paramter controls how the probing/pinging should be done when using the clustering support. It is about which node in the cluster pings which gateway/destination.

The cluster_id must be defined for this option to work.

The supported probing modes are:

  • "all" - all the nodes in the cluster will independetly ping all the defined gateways, an "all" pings "all" mode.

  • "by-shtag" - all the gateways are pinged by only one node in the cluster, the node having the cluster_sharing_tag active. By activating the sharing tag on a different node, the pinging duty will be transfered to another node in the cluster.

  • "distributed" - the pinging effort is distributed across all the nodes in the cluster, so each node will ping a sub-set of the overall set of gateway. Still all the gateways will get pinged (and only once per pinging cycle). The re-partitioning of the pinging effort over the available nodes in the cluster is automatically done when new nodes are joining or nodes are dropping out. Still there is no guaratee on which node will be responsible for pinging which gateway.

Default value is "all".

Example 1.26. Set cluster_probing_mode parameter

...
# only the node with the active "vip" sharing tag will perform pinging
modparam("drouting", "cluster_id", 9)
modparam("drouting", "cluster_sharing_tag", "vip")

1.4. Exported Functions

1.4.1.  do_routing([groupID], [flags], [gw_whitelist], [rule_attrs_pvar], [gw_attrs_pvar], [carrier_attrs_pvar], [partition])

Function to trigger routing of the message according to the rules in the database table and the configured parameters.

This function can be used from all routes.

If you set use_partitions to 1 the partition last parameter becomes mandatory.

All parameters are optional. Any of them may be ignored, provided the necessary separation marks "," are properly placed.

  • groupID (int, optional) - number to specify the group of the caller for routing purposes. If none specified the function will automatically try to query the dr_group table to get this

  • flags (string, optional) - a list of letter-like flags for controlling the routing behavior. Possible flags are:

    • F - Enable rule fallback; normally the engine is using a single rule for routing a call; by setting this flag, the engine will fallback and use rules with less priority or shorter prefix when all the destination from the current rules failed.

    • L - Do strict length matching over the prefix - actually DR engine will do full number matching and not prefix matching anymore.

    • C - Only check if the dialed number matches any routing rule, without loading / applying any routing info (no GW is set, the RURI is not altered)

  • gw_whitelist (string, optional) - a comma separated white list of gateways. This will force routing over, at most, this list of carriers or gateways (in other words, the whitelist will be intersected with the results of the search through the rules).

  • rule_attrs_pvar (var, optional) - a writable variable which will be populated with the attributes of the matched dynamic routing rule.

  • gw_attrs_pvar (var, optional) - a writable variable which will be populated with the attributes of the matched gateway.

  • carrier_attrs_pvar (var, optional) - a a writable variable which will be populated with the attributes of the matched carrier.

  • partition (string, optional) - the name of the DR partition to be used. This parameter is to be defined ONLY if the "use_partition" module parameter is turned on. Besides specifing the name of one partition, you can use the "*" wildcard sign to force routing over all partitions.

    • status (optional) - the new status to be forced for a carrier (0 - disable, 1 - enable). Only makes sense if carrier_id is provided.

Example 1.50. dr_carrier_status usage when use_partitions is 0

$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_carrier_status carrier_id=CR1
Enabled:: no
$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_carrier_status carrier_id=CR1 status=1
$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_carrier_status carrier_id=CR1
Enabled:: yes

Example 1.51. dr_carrier_status usage when use_partitions is 1

$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_carrier_status partition_name=my_partition carrier_id=CR1
Enabled:: no
$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_carrier_status partition_name=partition_1 carrier_id=CR1 status=1
$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_carrier_status partition_name=partition_3 carrier_id=CR1
Enabled:: yes

1.5.4. dr_reload_status

Gets the time of the last reload for any partition.

  • if use_partition is set to 0 - the function doesn't receive any parameter. It will list the date of the last reload for the default (and only) partition.

  • if use_partition is set to 1, the parameters are:

    • partition_name (optional) - if not provided the function will list the time of the last update for every partition. Otherwise, the function will list the time of the last reload for the given partition.

Example 1.52. dr_reload_status usage when use_partitions is 0

$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_reload_status
Date:: Tue Aug 12 12:26:00 2014

Example 1.53. dr_reload_status usage when use_partitions is 1

$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_reload_status
Partition:: part_test Date=Tue Aug 12 12:24:13 2014
Partition:: part_2 Date=Tue Aug 12 12:24:13 2014
$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_reload_status part_test
Partition:: part_test Date=Tue Aug 12 12:24:13 2014

1.5.5. dr_number_routing

Gets the matched prefix along with the list of the gateways / carriers to which a number would be routed when using the do_routing function.

  • if use_partition is set to 1 the function will have 3 parameters:

    • partition_name

    • group_id (optional) - the group id of the rules to check against

    • number - the number to test against

  • if use_partition is set to 0 the function will have 2 parameters:

    • group_id (optional) - the group id of the rules to check against

    • number - the number to test against

MI FIFO Command Format:

		opensips-cli -x mi dr_number_routing partition_name=part1 group_id=3 number=012340987
		

1.5.6.  dr_enable_probing

Enables/disables gateway probing or returns the current gateway probing status.

Parameters:

  • status (optional) - 1 - enable, 0 - disable gateway probing

Example 1.54. dr_enable_probing usage

$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_enable_probing
Status:: 1
$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_enable_probing 0
$ opensips-cli -x mi dr_enable_probing
Status:: 0
		

1.6. Exported Events

1.6.1.  E_DROUTING_STATUS

This event is raised when the module changes the state of a gateway, either through an MI command, probing or script function.

Parameters:

  • partition - the name of the partition.

  • gwid - the gateway identifier.

  • address - the address of the gateway.

  • status - disabled MI if the gateway was disabled using MI commands, probing if the gateway is being pinged, inactive if it was disabled from the script or active if the gateway is enabled.

1.7. Exported Status/Report Identifiers

The module provides the "drouting" Status/Report group, where each routing partition is defined as a separate SR identifier.

1.7.1. [partition_name]

The status of these identifiers reflects the readiness/status of the cached data (if available or not when being loaded from DB):

  • -2 - no data at all (initial status)

  • -1 - no data, initial loading in progress

  • 1 - data loaded, partition ready

  • 2 - data available, a reload in progress

Reload reporting:

In terms of data reloading, the following logs will be reported:

  • starting DB data loading

  • DB data loading failed, discarding

  • DB data loading successfully completed

  • N gateways loaded (N discarded), N carriers loaded (N discarded), N rules loaded (N discarded)

    {
        "Name": "Default",
        "Reports": [
            {
                "Timestamp": 1652353940,
                "Date": "Thu May 12 14:12:20 2022",
                "Log": "starting DB data loading"
            },
            {
                "Timestamp": 1652353940,
                "Date": "Thu May 12 14:12:20 2022",
                "Log": "DB data loading successfully completed"
            },
            {
                "Timestamp": 1652353940,
                "Date": "Thu May 12 14:12:20 2022",
                "Log": "2 gateways loaded (0 discarded), 2 carriers loaded (0 discarded), 1 rules loaded (0 discarded)"
            }
        ]
    }
	

1.7.2. [partition_name];events

GW/Carrier switching reporting:

For reporting events related to the state changes of the gateways and carriers, the module provides separate identifiers (still one per partition). Why separate ones? The reports on state changing may be verbose and there is the risk of loose/discard important reports on reloads due to the high number of logs on state changes;

So, each partition will provide the identified "partition_name;events" for reporting state changes of gateways and carriers, along with the reason of the change. This identifiers have a 200 records history before discarding the old ones.

    {
        "Name": "Default;events",
        "Reports": [
            {
                "Timestamp": 1652353976,
                "Date": "Thu May 12 14:12:56 2022",
                "Log": "GW <gw1_1>/127.0.1.1 switched to [inactive] due probing reply\n"
            },
            {
                "Timestamp": 1652353976,
                "Date": "Thu May 12 14:12:56 2022",
                "Log": "GW <gw2_1>/127.0.1.2 switched to [inactive] due probing reply\n"
            }
        ]
    }
	

For how to access and use the Status/Report information, please see https://www.opensips.org/Documentation/Interface-StatusReport-3-3.

1.8. Installation

The module requires 4 tables in the OpenSIPS database: dr_groups, dr_gateways, dr_carriers, dr_rules. The SQL syntax to create them can be found in the drouting-create.sql script, located in the database directories of the opensips/scripts folder. You can also find the complete database documentation on the project webpage, https://opensips.org/docs/db/db-schema-devel.html.
