SIP Router Bootcamp, Berlin, Germany, Sep 1-4, 2009

Next SIP Router Bootcamp will take place at the end of the summer, on September 1-4, 2009 in Berlin, Germany.

Teachers:

Daniel-Constantin Mierla - co-founder of OpenSER/Kamailio project in 2005, currently core-developer and member of project’s management board

Olle Johansson - Asterisk developer and member of the Digium Asterisk Advisory Board.

By end of 2008, Kamailio (OpenSER) and SIP Express Router (SER) started a joint collaboration under http://sip-router.org project, bringing together valuable developers and architects of SIP servers. Kamailio 3.0 and SER 3.0 (to be released soon) become compatible in terms of configuration file and extensions.

Learning to configure the SIP server is not easy, but is the key for a successful and secure VoIP business. The flexibility of SIP routing engine allows you to implement in no time innovative services, IP telephony, Instant Messaging, Presence and beyond. Asterisk comes to complete with rich media services and applications. Doing everything designed right and scalable saves time and money.

We create the opportunity for you, guided by experienced instructors, to learn how to build an Unified Communication platform from scratch using the SIP server engine and Asterisk.

Roadmap to Kamailio (OpenSER) 3.0

The roadmap to next major release of Kamailio (OpenSER), codenamed 3.0, was sketched during IRC meeting Jul 07, 2009, as:

- freezing in 1-1.5 months

- 1-1.5 months testing

- release by end of September/ beginning of October

Right now, current development state is:

- all but one module (seas) were updated to work with the new core

- several addons in kamailio core and tm still to be included in GIT master branch

- many new features developed: mecached, event_route, xml doc handling … see:

http://sip-router.org/wiki/features/new-in-devel

All of you are invites to test, startup guidelines can be found at:

Kamailio (OpenSER) v1.5.2 Released

A new release in 1.5 series is out. Kamailio (OpenSER) 1.5.2 is based on the latest version of branch 1.5, including many fixes in code and documentation, therefore those running 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 are advised to upgrade.

Source tarballs are available at:

http://www.kamailio.org/pub/kamailio/1.5.2/src/

Detailed changelog:

http://www.kamailio.org/pub/kamailio/1.5.2/ChangeLog

Download via SVN:

svn co https://openser.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openser/branches/1.5 kamailio

Tag for this release can be browsed at:

http://openser.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openser/tags/1.5.2/

Project site at SourceForge.net (still using old name):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/openser/

Binaries and packages will be uploaded at:

http://www.kamailio.org/pub/kamailio/1.5.2/

Modules' documentation:

http://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/1.5.x/

What is new in 1.5.x release series is summarized in the announcement of v1.5.0:

http://www.kamailio.org/mos/view/Kamailio-OpenSER-v1.5.0-Release-Notes

Note: Kamailio is the new name of OpenSER project. First version under Kamailio name was 1.4.0. Older versions will continue to use OpenSER name. The source tree for current development version is hosted by SIP Router project, you can test it via:
http://sip-router.org/wiki/migration/kamailio-3.0-config

New module MI_RPC available

Several days ago, a new module named mi_rpc was added to the source tree. The goal is to be able to execute MI commands using RPC interface from sip router core.

One big advantage of this is executing MI commands using the sercmd tool. sercmd is a command line interface, able to do auto completion for commands, used to change parameters, get insights of core and modules at runtime.

If you grabbed the source code (some guidelines at: http://sip-router.org/wiki/migration/kamailio-3.0-config ), then:

cd utils/sercmd

make

./sercmd

At the prompt: “mi ps”

See the readme of the module for more options:

http://sip-router.org/docbook/sip-router/branch/master/modules/mi_rpc/mi_rpc.html

You need to compile and load modules_s/ctl:

http://sip-router.org/docbook/sip-router/branch/master/modules_s/ctl/ctl.html

Two more modules updated

Two of the last three modules that were not ported to use the new sip router core are ready now: nat_traversal and siptrace.

Particularly, siptrace was refurbished a lot. Before release, there are couple of new features that should get in trunk since sip route core offers support for such extensions:

- ability to filter the ACK for negative replies issued by sl module in the script

- ability to store stateless forwarded messages (now only stateful ones being stored)

Testing is very much appreciated, see guidelines at Kamailio 3.0 Config wiki page.

SIP Router IRC channel

The IRC fans that want to do “a more real-time chat” about using and developing SIP Router project, can join the #sip-router channel on irc.freenode.net.

SIP Router Users Mailing List

As the project entered the phase where it is usable with modules from both Kamailio (OpenSER) and SIP Express Router (SER) projects, a new mailing list has be created:

sr-users@lists.sip-router.org

You can subscribe to it at:

http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users

It is intended for community users, the early testers at this moment in time.

The other mailing lists available for the project are:

- sr-dev - for development related discussions
http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-dev

- sr-users-es - sip router Spanish community mailing list
http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users-es

SIP Router Ready for Testing

The period of SIP Router integration phase is more and more approaching the end. Apart of 4 modules that are not integrated yet from Kamailio - seas, siptrace, uac_redirect and nat_traversal (work being undertaken) — the rest of 88 modules are ready for http://sip-router.org core.

There is now a page to collect guidelines for the default Kamailio configuration file used with sip-router. We invite all of you to test it, not only this one, but your private configs as well.
http://sip-router.org/wiki/migration/kamailio-3.0-config

Feel free to add to the wiki page or post questions about it to sr-users@lists.sip-router.org. This is a new list created for users of sip-router project, you can subscribe to it at:
http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users

At this stage, sip router can be used with modules from both Kamailio (OpenSER) and SER projects, mixed in same instance at the same time. Therefore you can choose the best ones that fit your needs. For Kamailio (OpenSER) users there is a page that tries to collect new features they got from SER side (still a lot to add there, hope ser developers will contribute what they find missing). Another page collects links for ser and kamailio users to find what the other project brings:
http://sip-router.org/wiki/migration/new-features-for-k-users
http://sip-router.org/wiki/features/inherited-features

It was not only integration work in the past months, sip router has quite a bunch of brand new feature. The wiki page to collect the summary is available at:
http://sip-router.org/wiki/features/new-in-devel

Jan just set online documentation portal, available for web browsing:
http://sip-router.org/docbook/sip-router/branch/master/

Common modules are located in directory ‘modules’ while kamailio and ser specific modules can be found under module_k and modules_s. Project’s wiki portal got also good content and it is under heavy work — note that everyone can contribute to wiki:
http://sip-router.org/wiki

Couple of core and tm features are not yet integrated or not exactly as they were in Kamailio. Please report the ones you are missing in your config at:
http://sip-router.org/wiki/devel/kamailio-integration#tm_and_core_extensions

It is the place that should set the priority rank for integration. I hope that in 1-2 months time frame to get into beta stage and prepare a stable release.

Many thanks for those that allocated resources to make things evolve to this stage and many thanks in advance for those that will start testing and help improving the sip router project.

SIP Router Online Documentation

Thanks to Jan, automatically generated HTML documentation from docbook documents stored in the git repository is available at

http://sip-router.org/docbook/sip-router/branch/master/

This is all the docbook documentation that we currently have in the repository, including the documents under doc, modules, modules_k, modules_s, and lib subdirectories.

The HTML documentation is updated automatically upon changes in the git repository.

ROSDEV 2009

The third edition of ROSDEV - Romanian Open Source Development Meeting - takes place in Brasov, Romania, April 04, 2009.

The intiative was started by Elena-Ramona Modroiu, COO Asipto, back in 2006, targeting to build the event that gathers Romanian developers working with Open Source projects.

This year the conference goes international, with invited people from other countries. Time to present the new SIREMIS project along with Kamailio (OpenSER) and SIP-Router.org projects.

New Module MemCached

Courtesy of Henning Westerholt, a new module was added to the repository - 'memcached'. It allows to connect to a memcached server and supports following operations:

• add key
  
• get key
  
• delete key
  
• atomic operations

The operations can be done directly in the configuration file via pseudo-variables.

Further details can be found in the module documentation:

http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/memcached.html

Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic applications by alleviating database load.

Kamailio (OpenSER) v1.5.0 Released

On March 02, 2009, Kamailio (OpenSER) 1.5.0 has been released. It represents the major version with the biggest new features boost since project was started back in 2005.

Release 1.5.0 comes after a shorter development period than usual - about five months of coding and more than one month of extensive testing, but brings lot of new features and improvements, with special care to stability, performance, security and flexibility. A short summary of what the release brings out:

• configuration file caching system - generic storage engine in memory via htable module allowing to share data between processes and reduce SQL operations by storing results in cache
• execute SQL queries against multiple databases and access the results in a fast and natural fashion
• execute config file route blocks on timer
• send SIP requests from config file
• perform HTTP queries from config file - integration with web service
• dialog info presence support - RFC4235
• support for TLS server_name extension (aka SNI=server name indication)
• support for non-blocking logging
• many enhancements to least cost routing (LCR), load balancing (dispatcher) and carrier routing (carrierroute)
  
• access in config file to both request or reply during transaction processing
• perl-like regular expression support (PCRE library)
• sanity check of SIP message structure
• protection against SIP reply attack
• twelve new modules
  
• code restructuring in core - slimmer and less exposed to issues
  
• web management interface - SIREMIS

See more detailed description of the new features in the "New Features" section of this document.

FOSDEM2009 - Photos

First 2009 Kamailio(OpenSER) and SIP-Router.org meeting happened in Brussels, Belgium, Feb 7, during FOSDEM 2009. Some photos are available at:

http://www.asipto.com/gallery/v/FOSDEM2009/

We had couple of interesting discussions:

- scalability - combined with MySQL track, everyone was interested in how to increase the performance and integrated better what latest MySQL offers in terms of HA and replication, good input from Henning Westerholt based on experiences with 1&1’s 2 000 000 users platform

- programmable presence server - with idea and large interest of SipWise and Andres Granig

- media services - nice talks with Olle E. Johansson and Stefan Sayer

- light b2bua - pushed on the table by Alexander Dubovikov

Probably next meeting will be the SIP-Router.org integration meeting.

Kamailio (OpenSER) 1.5.0 - Code frozen

Count down to Kamailio (OpenSER) 1.5.0 started on Jan 28, 2009. It is time for heavy testing and prepare the release with the biggest boost in features since 2005 when OpenSER was launched.

http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/features:new-in-1.5.x

Target date for release is end of February, 2009.

SIREMIS Project Launched

Asipto SRL has launched the SIREMIS Project, aiming to build web management interface for Kamailio (OpenSER). Later will follow also the sip-router.org project.

Under management of Elena-Ramona Modroiu, the project was developed so far by Asipto - http://www.asipto.com - using OpenBiz PHP framework — the target was to make it easier to extend for non-web developers. Soon, the project sources will be hosted on sourceforge.net SVN (project name: siremis).

Homepage of the project is:
- http://siremis.asipto.com

The first beta release is available for download and includes the features:

• subscriber, database aliases and speed dial management
• location table view
• dispatcher, prefix-domain translation and least cost routing (lcr) management
• access control lists (user groups) and permissions management
• accounting records, missed calls and call data records view
• hash table, dial plan table and user preferences table management
• off-line message storage view
• it was tested with MySQL but should support other sql-like DBs

Internal design:

• developed on top of a framework: PHP/Web2.0/Ajax
• XML Metadata driven extensions
• Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture

You can see some screenshots at:
- http://siremis.asipto.com/photos/siremis-screenshots/

For few days, a demo site can be accessed at:
- http://siremis.asipto.com/demo/
- username: admin and password: admin

Download and installation details:
- http://siremis.asipto.com/install/

We hope you will enjoy it and help to extend it. The plan is to release first stable version more or less at the same time with Kamailio (OpenSER) 1.5.0.

Kamailio (OpenSER) 2008 Awards

I have published the second edition of Kamailio (OpenSER) Project Awards - it covers year 2008:

http://miconda.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/kamailio-openser-2008-awards/

Previous year can be found at:

Send SIP Messages From Config File

You can initiate SIP messages from Kamailio (OpenSER) configuration file ...

uac module provides a new function that allow sending sip requests from configuration file:

- uac_send_req()

http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/uac.html#id2467912

It opens the door for a new bunch of things you can do now. I can think of now:

1) send IM alerts on special events

route { 
 $uac_req(method)="MESSAGE";
 $uac_req(ruri)= "sip:alert[at]kamailio.org";
 $uac_req(furi)="sip:server[at]kamailio.org";
 $uac_req(hdrs)="Content-Type: text/plain\r\n";
 $uac_req(body)="SIP request from:" + $si + ":" + $sp;
 uac_send_req();
}

2) turn lamps on for some sip phones on some events - e.g., snom:

http://wiki.snom.com/Features/LED_Remote_Control

3) talk server-to-server - here one example can be building a platform with a central server for accounting. Accounting is done at 200ok. So each routing server will build a csv list (time,callid, from tag, to tag, invite from uri, invite r-uri):

onreply_route[1] {

  if(status!="200")

    return;

  $uac_req(method)="ACCOUNTING";

  $uac_req(ruri)="sip:store[at]accounting.kamailio.org";

  $uac_req(furi)="sip:server[at]server1.kamailio.org";

  $uac_req(hdrs)="Content-Type: text/accounting-csv\r\n";

  pv_printf($uac_req(body), "$TS,$ci,$ft,$tt,$T_req($fu),$T_req($ru)");

  uac_send_req();

}

note that $T_req() is given by tm module, also with Kamailio trunk:

http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/pseudovariables:devel#tm_module_pseudo-variables

The accounting server:

route{

  # you should check the source IP also

  if(method=="ACCOUNTING" && $rU="store")

  {

       sql_query("ca",

             "insert into accounting(timeval,callid,ftag,ttag,src,dst) values ('$(rb{s.select,0,,})','$(rb{s.select,1,,})', ...)",

             "ra");

      send_reply("200", "Stored");   

  }

}

... and you can put your imagination work ... there are plenty of new and cute features you can add on your service with this functionality ...

AFAIK, before release, 2-4 new more module are going to be introduced and couple of existing modules extended. This is a notification for all users and developers (existing or upcoming) to finish the work before the freezing date if they want to get their code in Kamailio (OpenSER) 1.5.0.

The 1.5.x series will be the last to use the current core. Next releases will be based on SIP Router project:
