-Your article was ecxeellnt and erudite.+====== SIP Router - New features in development version ====== 
 + 
 +The page collects the summary (draft notes) of the new features in SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) development version. 
 + 
 +**This source tree branch will result in release 3.2.0 - release date proposal: Mid Autumn 2011**. 
 + 
 +Current stable branch is: **3.1** 
 + 
 +  * last major release: **3.1.0 - was released on Oct 06, 2010** (note that minor releases as version 3.1.x may be out already) 
 + 
 +===== New SIP Router modules ===== 
 + 
 +==== async ==== 
 + 
 +  * collector for asynchronous config functions 
 +  * async_route(...) - execute a route block asynchronously after an interval of time 
 +  * async_sleep(...) - asynchronous sleep for usage when processing SIP requests 
 + 
 +==== db_sqlite ==== 
 + 
 +  * database connector for SQLite 
 + 
 +==== dmq ==== 
 + 
 +  * distributed message queue using SIP to communicate between peers (SIP server instances) 
 + 
 +==== ipops ==== 
 + 
 +  * IPv4 and IPv6 related functions for config file 
 + 
 +==== json ==== 
 + 
 +  * json parser for configuration file 
 + 
 +==== jsonrpc-c ==== 
 + 
 +  * JSON-RPC client over netstrings 
 +==== ndb_redis ==== 
 + 
 +  * connector to Redis no-SQL database engine 
 + 
 +==== presence_reginfo ==== 
 + 
 +  * Support for RFC 3680 in the presence architecture of Kamailio 
 + 
 +==== pua_reginfo ==== 
 + 
 +  * Publish Registration info according to RFC 3680 ("reg"-Package), in case a user registration (based on usrloc callbacks) 
 +  * Subscribe to remote registration info 
 +  * Process published registration info (NOTIFY requests) and store it to usrloc 
 +  * (currently still in the carstenbock/ims branch, planned as a replacement of the RFC 3680 implementation in the CSCF modules) 
 + 
 +==== p_usrloc ==== 
 + 
 +  * partitioned user location service 
 + 
 +==== sdpops ==== 
 + 
 +  * module to control the content of the SDP payload from configuration file 
 +    * e.g.,: remove codecs 
 + 
 +==== sipcapture ==== 
 + 
 +  * SIP traffic capturing server extension for Homer project 
 +==== IMS Extensions ==== 
 + 
 +  * the IMS related modules resides in **carstenbock/ims** branch until they are integrated in master branch 
 + 
 +==== IMS: CDP / CDP-AVP ==== 
 + 
 +  * The CDP (C-Diameter-Peer) modules provide an Diameter-interface, which are used by several components of the OpenIMS-core: They are used as Cx-Interface for the I-/S-CSCF and for the Rx-Interface for the P-CSCF. The modules may be used in other ways, too (e.g. for an Sh-Interface for an Kamailio-based aplication server) 
 + 
 +==== IMS: P-CSCF ==== 
 + 
 +  * The Proxy-CSCF in the IMS Architecture acts as an entry point to the network. The pcscf module of the original OpenIMS-core aggregates many functions required at this component: Header manipulation/verification, RTP-Relay and presence-support for the “reginfo”-event. Optional, the Rx-Interface for Billing may be enabled.  
 + 
 +==== IMS: I-CSCF ==== 
 + 
 +  * The Interrogating-CSCF is a kind of “Loadbalancer” or a entry Proxy for the “home-network” of an IMS setup. The I-CSCF will retrieve the location for a user from the HSS, it will check, where a user is registered or where it should register (based on user-settings, required capabilities later maybe even load). The icscf-module implements the according interfaces towards the HSS (Cx) and according header manipulation/verification methods. 
 + 
 +==== IMS: S-CSCF ==== 
 + 
 +  * The Serving-CSCF is acting as a registrar and as decision engine regarding the routing of the Request. It retrieves the user-data and routing rules from the HSS and applies them to the processed requests. The scscf-module implements the according interfaces towards the HSS (Cx), the interfaces towards application-servers (Isc) and according header manipulation/verification methods. 
 + 
 +==== IMS: MGCF ==== 
 + 
 +  * The MGCF-Module of the OpenIMS core implements header and content manipulation for interconnections towards Class 4 networks. 
 + 
 +==== IMS: E-CSCF & LRF ==== 
 + 
 +  * The Emergency-CSCF and the Location Ressource Function (LRF) implements IMS compliant emergency call routing. The modules provide required content aggregation methods. 
 + 
 + 
 +
