proxysip

Is simple stateful proxy for handling SIP calls.

Usage

proxysip:
  -debug
    	
  -dst string
    	Destination pbx, sip server (default "127.0.0.2:5060")
  -ip string
    	My exernal ip (default "127.0.0.1:5060")
  -pprof
    	Full profile
  -t string
    	Transport, default will be determined by request (default "udp")

Stress testing UDP with sipp (sipgo and opensips)

SIPGO can handle a lot of calls in sec, and lot of performance improvements is done.
We are comparing with opensips (C based) and you can find similar configuration for opensips, which has a simple proxy behavior.

NOTE: Consider this test results are not 100% accurate. They probably need better setup, but for now they are added for some overview.

This tests are done on local machine using docker, so they should be easily rerun on different env. Due to local resources limitation we limit our proxy to 4 CPU cores.

In stress testing we are looking:

• response time (<200ms)
• failed calls

Setup

docker-compose is used for quickly running proxy and sipp. You can check more in docker-compose.yml about configuration. sipp is used with uac and uas scenario. All traffic is proxied from uac to uas.

Running with docker-compose:

# Run this in 3 terminals
docker-compose run proxy
docker-compose run uas
docker-compose run uac

Results

We pushed that rate of calls until proxy starts constantly faling calls. For some i7 2.60 GHZ (limited to 4 core) it can handle

• more than 2000 calls/s rate
• peak more than 12000 calls

Tradeoffs

Library will cache a lot to remove GO GC pressure, and therefore you should expect HIGH memory usage. Performance can be improved with increasing GOGC (ex GOGC=200) to remove GC pressure, but higher memory usage shoud be expected.

CONSIDER checking latest GO version with support of limiting memory usage

NOTE

If you are using containers, GOMAXPROCS is important for cpu quota. As alternative use uber's automaxprocs
