The pike module in OpenSIPS efficiently monitors SIP traffic to detect possible Denial of Service attacks. It can operate in manual or automatic modes, tracking all types of SIP messages. Upon detection of a flood, it raises an event to alert administrators and can integrate with external IP blocking tools, enhancing service protection.

The clustering support in OpenSIPS is a challenging area, under continuous evolution. Even after years since its initial version, we still discover challenging scenarios, which need to be understood and addressed. And production environments, especially the ones involving large amounts of data, are typical melting pots for such challenges. Below are some of our finds … Continue reading OpenSIPS Cluster Hardening in Large Dataset Scenarios
In today's world of integrated services, the ability of OpenSIPS to interface with external applications is no longer optional - it's a necessity. And to meet this necessity, we have released a new Python package - a "Swiss army knife" tool to provide a simpler, faster and more efficient way to integrate with OpenSIPS. This … Continue reading Enhance OpenSIPS Integration with New Python Package
In the previous post we learned how to eliminate the "zombie" registrations - registrations which are not valid or reachable anymore. Nevertheless, things are not only black or white , we do have shades of gray - meaning we may have valid and reachable destinations, but with slower or faster response times. This may happen … Continue reading Optimize User Experience by Filtering Slow SIP Registrations
When managing a live production platform, real-time tuning of specific settings is often essential, allowing adjustments without the need to restart services. OpenSIPS offers a comprehensive array of primitives for reloading provisioning data and fine-tuning runtime configurations through its Management Interface (MI) commands. OpenSIPS Script Controls One of the common needs is to be able … Continue reading Implementing OpenSIPS realtime Controls via Control Panel 9.3.5
The registration process is an important mechanism in SIP. It allows the users to get in contact with the service, to announce their location and to receive calls from the service. The health of your SIP service, and its performance, depends on how well this registrations process works and how accurate and up-to-date the registration … Continue reading How to Eliminate Zombie Registrations in OpenSIPS
Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database, designed to handle the scaling and operational challenges of relational databases. DynamoDB aims to offer high availability and resilience for worldwide applications. With automatic scaling and no maintenance requirements, DynamoDB ensures consistent performance for applications of any size. Adding DynamoDB support to OpenSIPS makes it even smoother to integrate … Continue reading Amazon’s DynamoDB integration in OpenSIPS 3.6
5G technology offers speeds up to 1000 times faster than 4G, as well as significantly lower latency and the ability to support large numbers of devices connecting to the network at the same time. With 5G deployments by telecom operators in both USA/Europe debuting as early as 2019[1] and continuing throughout the following years, it … Continue reading HTTP/2 Server Support for Next-Generation Services in OpenSIPS 3.5
The main focus of the OpenSIPS 3.5 development plan is to facilitate and provide the tools required to build robust, production-ready, industry-grade IMS solutions. To this goal we have been working on new features and functionalities in OpenSIPS 3.5 that aim to simplify the IMS development process while still provide the required specifications. This post … Continue reading Build an IMS using OpenSIPS 3.5 – S-CSCF (Part 1)
The SQL DB support may be considered one of the early first and long improved feature in the whole history of SER / OpenSER and OpenSIPS. 20+ years later, with OpenSIPS 3.5, the SQL support is keep improving, especially when comes to its usage from script level. This is a natural evolution dictated by the … Continue reading The SQL support, reloaded
