Features For Kamailio Users

This page collects the features inherited by SIP Router from SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio users can benefit of.

Work in progress. Started from benefits web page. Please add anything you see missing here.

• updates to transport layers: UDP, TCP/TLS and SCTP
• asynchronous TCP sending
• asynchronous message processing support
• access to new features in parts like: memory managers, locking and synchronization, timers, DNS
• build framework that allow creation of libraries from code, thus ability to make core more lightweight and remove duplications in an efficient way
• several config file goodies
  • send route - route called just before sending the message, meaning it will show the final content (headers and body updated) and makes available the destination IP address - more flexibility in handling DNS blacklists and filters
  • timer route - route called in a timer base
  • reload of some config variables, routes with names, flags with names
• a bunch of useful modules:
  • sanity - checks SIP grammar conformance of headers
  • db_ops - database operations

  • auth identity, cfg_db, cfg_rpc, ctl, timer, eval and few more
• tools
