====== New in v3.0.0 ======
//**Release of 3.0.0: January 11, 2010**//
**IMPORTANT:** Source code for Kamailio 3.0 is hosted on GIT repository at http://sip-router.org
**IMPORTANT:** SVN trunk on SourceForge.net is updated only for branches 1.5 or lower.
//Being far from a complete listing of the new features, this page tries to give a fair overview of astonishing number of new functionalities and improvements available in Kamailio (OpenSER) 3.0.0.//
//This is first release based on http://sip-router.org project, meaning that you can have all Kamailio (OpenSER) and SIP Express Router (SER) extensions and functionalities mixed in same configuration file.//
===== !!! New in core =====
==== Transport layer ====
== UDP ==
* mili-second base retransmission
* integration with internal DNS cache system and auto black-listing
* fallback to TCP, TLS or SCTP if the UDP packet is too big
* management of UDP cfg parameters at runtime via RPC control interface
Example config to fallback to TCP is size of SIP request is bigger than 1024 bytes:
udp_mtu = 1024
udp_mtu_try_proto = TCP
== TCP ==
* asynchronous TCP sending
* many new parameters to tune TCP connection behaviour
* http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/core-cookbook:3.0.x#tcp_parameters
* TCP keepalive support
* TCP CRLF ping support
* support many pooling methods: none, poll, epoll_lt, epoll_et, sigio_rt, select, kqueue, /dev/poll
* TCP file descriptions cache - speed improvement in TCP sending
* management of TCP cfg parameters at runtime via RPC control interface

}
== TLS ==
* completely new TLS architecture
* TLS hooks in core and functionality provided by TLS module
* no more re-compilation of all sources to enable TLS, just load [b]tls[/b] module
* dedicated config file to deal easily within multi-homed environment
* management of TLS cfg parameters at runtime via RPC control interface
Sample config file for TLS:
[server:default]
method = TLSv1
verify_certificate = no
require_certificate = no
private_key = kamailio_key.pem
certificate = kamailio_cert.pem
ca_list = kamailio_ca.pem
[client:default]
verify_certificate = yes

private_key = privatenet_key.pem
certificate = privatenet_cert.pem
verify_depth = 3
ca_list = privatenet_ca.pem
[client:10.0.0.11:5061]
verify_certificate = no
certificate = peer_11_client.pem
private_key = peer_11_key.pem
ca_list = peer_11_ca.pem
== SCTP ==
* completely new SCTP architecture
* advancced SCTP implementation
* multi-homing and multi-streaming (connections association)
* macros for sctp statistics
* blacklist support at the sctp level. If sctp_send_retries are used, the blacklist will work only for send (using SCTP_SEND_FAILED notifications). If sctp_send_retries is not used (default), there are 2 possible blacklist reasons: SEND or CONNECT (assoc. failed to be opened).
* connection reuse & connection tracking
* management of SCTP cfg parameters at runtime via RPC control interface

}
==== Memory manager ====
* new Doug Lea (DL) malloc manager
* new lockless malloc (LL) manager
* print memory status summary in debug mode
==== Locking and synchronisation ====
* arch specific optimisations via likely and unlikely defines
* support for non-blocking lock attempt via lock_try()
* membar system
==== Timers ====
* 3 level hierarchical timing wheel
* G. Varghese, T. Lauck, Hashed and Hierarchical Timing Wheels: Efficient Data Structures for Implementing a Timer Facility, 1996
* support for dynamic adding timers
* one shot and periodic timers
* "fast" and "slow" timers
==== DNS ====
* lots of new parameters to tune DNS behaviour
* http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/core-cookbook:3.0.x#dns_parameters
* internal DNS caching with failover system
* TXT, EBL and PTR support (both cache and non-cached resolver)
==== Select framework ====
* new system of config variables
* over one hundred classes of selects
* fine access to attributes of header by header index and attributes name (e.g., Via, Auth headers)
* access to SIP message parts and environment attributes
* http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/selects:3.0.x
* supported by Pseudo-Variables framework via PV module
if(@cseg.method == "INVITE")
{
...
}
if($sel(cseg.method) == "INVITE")
{
...
}
==== Library framework ====
* internal library support -- better modularity and less code duplication -- shared code among several module can be organised now as a library
* DB interface became **libsrdb1** library
* new (alternative) DB interface via **libsrdb2** library with support for **prepared statements**
* Management Interface (MI) became **libmi** library
* several Kamailio 1.5 core extensions are now in **libkcore** library - slimmer core
* libraries are located in "lib/"
* ensure smaller footprint to core - the core is less exposed to bugs and no longer under the threat of becoming fat
==== RPC Interface ====
* scanner-like command interface to Kamailio
* alternative to exiting Management Interface (MI)
==== CFG framework ====
* ability to get and set global or module parameters values at runtime
* get and set internal variables on-the-fly
* can be controlled via RPC interface
* eliminate Kamailio restarts whenever possible
==== CFG Include support ====
* config language supports include file
include_file "name_of_file"
* can be used in any part of config file, for example:
* you can include a file defining global parameters
* you can include a file defining module loading and its parameter
* you can include a file defining routing rules
* error reporting prints name of file and line number
* included file may include another file
Example:
- file kamailio-sanity.cfg:
if (!mf_process_maxfwd_header("10")) {
sl_send_reply("483","Too Many Hops");
exit;
}
if ( msg:len >= 8192 ) {
sl_send_reply("513", "Message too big");
exit;
}
if ( is_method("NOTIFY") && uri==myself
&& $hdr(Event) =~ "keep-alive" )
{
sl_send_reply("200", "OK - keepalive");
exit;
}
Now, at the top of main route block in each config, I include the 'kamailio-sanity.cfg' file:
- file kamailio.cfg:
...
route {
include_file "kamailio-sanity.cfg"
...
}
...
==== CFG Define support ====
Control in C-style what parts of the config file are executed. The parts in non-defined zones are not loaded, ensuring lower memory usage and faster execution.
Available directives:
* #!define NAME - define a keyword
* #!ifdef NAME - check if a keyword is defined
* #!ifndef - check if a keyword is not defined
* #!else - swtich to false branch of ifdef/ifndef region
* #!endif - end ifdef/ifndef region
Among benefits:
* easy way to enable/disable features (e.g., see default cfg for 3.0.0 -- controlling support of nat traversal, presence, etc...)
* switch control for parts where conditional statements were not possible (e.g., global parameters, module settings)
* faster by not using conditional statements inside routing blocks when switching between running environments
Example: how to make config to be used in two environments, say testbed and production, controlled just by one define to switch between the two modes:
...
#!define TESTBED_MODE
#!ifdef TESTBED_MODE
debug=5
log_stderror=yes
listen=192.168.1.1
#!else
debug=2
log_stderror=no
listen=10.0.0.1
#!endif
...
#!ifdef TESTBED_MODE
modparam("acc|auth_db|usrloc", "db_url",
"mysql://openser:openserrw@localhost/openser_testbed")
#!else
modparam("acc|auth_db|usrloc", "db_url",
"mysql://openser:openserrw@10.0.0.2/openser_production")
#!endif
...
#!ifdef TESTBED_MODE
route[DEBUG] {
xlog("SCRIPT: SIP $rm from: $fu to: $ru - srcip: $si"\n);
}
#!endif
...
route {
#!ifdef TESTBED_MODE
route(DEBUG);
#!endif
...
}
...
==== onsend_route ====
* executed just before sending the SIP message to the network
* shows the final content (headers and body updated)
* more flexibility in handling DNS blacklists and filters
* you can drop requestss just to be sent using own logic in onsend_route
* details of destination are available and can be used in route via
* cfg keywords
* snd_ip
* snd_port
* snd_proto
* snd_af
* pseudo-variables
* $snd(ip)
* $snd(port)
* $snd(proto)
* $snd(af)
* you can access the content of the buffer to be sent to network via:
* $snd(buf)
* $snd(len)
onsend_route {
if(isflagset(2) && $snd(ip)=="10.10.10.10") {
drop;
}
}
==== event_route ====
* framework exported by core to execute a set of actions when a specific event happens
* no longer needed to extend cfg file grammar for each new type of event that needs to execute a route block in cfg
* an event route can be triggered by core or any of the modules
* implemented event routes
* **event_route[htable:mod-init]** - executed by htable module after module has been initialised
* **event_route[tm:local-request]** - executed by tm modules when a local SIP request is generated (former local_route in 1.5.x)
event_route[htable:mod-init] {
$shv(start_time) = $Tf;
sql_query("insert into restarts (start_time) values ('$Tf')");
}
==== Names for route blocks and flags ====
* route blocks can have string name
* you can still use integer IDs (backward compatible) in cfg file
* no more limitation of number of routing blocks
* easier to write and maintain routing logic by having meaningful names
* SIP message (transaction) flags can have string name
* easy to spot and understand the meaning of the flag
* note: name for flags cannot be used for branch or script flags
...
flags
FLAG_ONE : 1,
FLAG_TWO : 2;
...
route {
...
if($rU=~"^\+[1-9][0-9]+$")
{
# route to gateway
$du = "sip:10.0.0.11";
route(RELAY);
}
...
if(isflagset(FLAG_ONE))
{
...
}
...
}
route[RELAY] {
t_relay();
exit;
}
==== switch statement ====
* support for regular expression matching for string
* optimisation for integer matching
* **break** can be used inside actions of a **case** block (previously was allowed only at the end of block)
switch($rU) {
case /"^123":
if($fU=="345") {
break;
} else {
...
}
break;
case /"^456":
...
break;
}
==== while statement ====
* you can use **break** to jump out of **while** loop (not possible in previous versions)
$var(i) = 0;
while($var(i)<10) {
if($var(i)==5 && $rU=="123")
break;
$var(i) = $var(i) + 1;
}
==== Config file interpreter ====
=== type casts operators ===
* (int) - cast to integer
* (str) - cast to string
$var(expires) = (int)$hdr(expires);
=== new comparison operators ===
* eq, ne for string comparisons
* ieq, ine for integer comparisons
if($ua eq "Snom") {
...
}
* they are almost equivalent to = = or !=, but they force the conversion of their operands (eq to string and ieq to int), allowing among other things better type checking on startup and more optimisations.
* non equiv. examples: 0 = = "" (true) is not equivalent to 0 eq "" (false: it evaluates to "0" eq ""). "a" ieq "b" (true: (int)"a" is 0 and (int)"b" is 0) is not equivalent to "a" = = "b" (false).
* note: internally = = and != are converted on startup to eq/ne/ieq/ine whenever possible (both operand types can be safely determined at start time and they are the same).
* try to guess what the user wanted when operators that support multiple types are used on different typed operands. In general convert the right operand to the type of the left operand and then perform the operation. Exception: the left operand is undef. This applies to the following operators: +, == and !=.
* expression evaluation changes: auto-convert to interger or string in function of the operators:
int(undef)==0, int("")==0, int("123")==123, int("abc")==0
str(undef)=="", str(123)=="123".
== new script operators ==
* defined expr - returns true if expr is defined, and false if not. Note: only a standalone avp or pvar can be undefined, everything else is defined.
* strlen(expr) - returns the length of expr evaluated as string.
* strempty(expr) - returns true if expr evaluates to the empty string (equivalent to expr=="")
if (defined $v && !strempty($v))
$len=strlen($v);
==== Module search path ====
* **loadpath** (alias to **mpath**) can take now a list of directories separated by ':'
* modules can be located in many directories
* you can omit the extension ".so" in module name for **loadmodule**
* the list is searched in-order
* more at: http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/core-cookbook:3.0.x#loadpath
loadpath "/usr/local/lib/kamailio/modules:/usr/local/lib/kamailio/modules_k"
loadmodule "db_mysql.so"
loadmodule "uri"
==== Dual module interfaces ====
* modules can implement any of the interfaces specific so far to:
* kamailio
* ser
* core can deal at the same time with modules implementing different interfaces
* straightforward migration and run on the same Kamailio instance of modules developed so far for:
* Kamailio (OpenSER)
* SIP Express Router (SER)
* OpenIMSCore
==== Script compatibility mode ====
* option to offer best compatibility with expected behaviour had by older versions
* as now we integrate functionalities from Kamailio and SER all together, this directive offer the possibility to choose between. For example:
* in Kamailio, processing of failure route uses selected reply code from branches of the last step of serial forking
* in SER, processing of failure route uses selected reply code from all branches, offering the option to drop replies for branches of the last step of serial forking via a module function
* you can choose between ser compatible, kamailio compatible and max compatibility (compatible with both as much as possible), using:
#!SER
#!KAMAILIO
#!OPENSER
#!ALL
#!MAXCOMPAT
where #!KAMAILIO is equivalent with #!OPENSER and #!ALL with #!MAXCOMPAT
**IMPORTANT** - set #!KAMAILIO as first line in your config file if you update from 1.5.x or older version of Kamailio (OpenSER), otherwise you may experience new behaviour for some old functions.
#!KAMAILIO
...
==== extended avps ====
* XAVP
* new class of variables
* http://sip-router.org/wiki/devel/xavp
* structure-like access to variables bind to SIP transactions
* ability to store more value types, not only integer and string
* simplify addressing by using only string name for attributes
* possibility to optimise the search by creating lists of xavp lists
* availability in config file for xavp with string or integer value (expression interpreter supports only these values) via PV module
* availability in stateful processing, during the lifetime of transaction
* Kamailio must be compiled with define WITH_XAVP set
$xavp(sf=>uri)="sip:10.10.10.10";
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_timer)=10;
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_inv_timer)=15;
$xavp(sf[0]=>headers)="X-CustomerID: 1234\r\n";
$xavp(sf=>uri)="sip:10.10.10.11";
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_timer)=20;
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_inv_timer)=35;
$xavp(sf=>uri)="sip:10.10.10.12";
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_timer)=10;
$xavp(sf[0]=>fr_inv_timer)=15;
$xavp(sf[0]=>headers)="X-CustomerID: pw45\r\n";
xlog("uri attribute in first sf xavp: $xavp(sf=>uri)\n");
==== New cfg file elements ====
* lot of new parameters, functions and keywords

* http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/pseudovariables:3.0.x
* http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/transformations:3.0.x
==== Custom cfg file parameters ====
* along with predefined global parameters, you can define your own in global parameters section and use later in routing blocks
Format: group.id = value 'desc' description
* you can get access to them via
* pseudo-variables: $sel(cfg_get.group.id)
* selects: @cfg_get.group.id
...
pstn.gw_ip = "10.0.0.101" desc "My PSTN GW Address"
...
route[PSTN] {
# check if PSTN GW IP is defined
if (strempty($sel(cfg_get.pstn.gw_ip))) {
xlog("SCRIPT: PSTN routing enabled but pstn.gw_ip not defined\n");
return;
}
# route to PSTN dialed numbers starting with '+' or '00'
if(!($rU=~"^(\+|00)[1-9][0-9]{3,20}$"))
return;
# only local users allowed to call
if(from_uri!=myself) {
sl_send_reply("403", "Not Allowed");
exit;
}
$ru = "sip:" + $rU + "@" + $sel(cfg_get.pstn.gw_ip);
route(RELAY);
exit;
}
