[OpenSIPS-Users] how to delete contacts on dead TCP or TLS sessions?

[Liviu Chircu]

Hi Alex,

You have to enable contact pinging for this to work.  After X unanswered 
pings, the contact will be deleted from the user location.  For this to 
work, you have to properly load and configure the nathelper module, as 
well as set the "sipping_bflag" [1], "remove_on_timeout_bflag" [2] 
branch flags before doing save() for each contact.  Also, don't forget 
to enable TCP pings [3] (the default is to only ping UDP contacts).

Best regards,
