Asynchronous SIP Routing
 Asynchronous TCP

 present in 3.0.x (latest stable)

 Issues solved
 blocking the SIP worker process

 opening a connection
 sending data

 Configuration as easy as:

 tcp_async = yes

 Benefits
 increased processing capacity over TCP

 better handling of traffic for IM and Presence

 transparent for modules and config file functions

 integrated with DNS blacklisting

26
 Asynchronous TLS

 Asynchronous TCP and TLS for SIP Routing

 worldwide - you can get them only with Kamailio and SER

 in code tree GIT repository (ready for upcoming 3.1.0)

 Same benefits as for asynchronous TCP
 asynchronous TCP implies asynchronous TLS

 same config parameter: tcp_async=yes

 Extra
 increased capacity of handling secure communication

27
 Asynchronous SIP Message Processing
 present in 3.0.x (latest stable)
 default message processing
 receive - process - forward/reply

 new possibility of message processing

 receive - process - suspend - do something else - resume
- forward/reply
 requirements
 transaction management module (tm)

 example
 call comes in, authenticate user, then send a request to
billing engine to authorize the call
 suspend handling the invite (park it), process other SIP
requests
 when billing engine replies, resume INVITE processing
and allow or deny the call

 Config Message Queuing System

 in code tree GIT repository (ready for upcoming 3.1.0)

 New module: mqueue
 multiple message queues

 message: (key, body)

 Features
 inter-process communication

 SIP worker process can send commands to timer

worker
 Examples
 SIPWEET
 send notifications to Twitter (see my other talk @18:00)
 email on various events
