1. Overview

   1.1. Edge Proxy Keep-Alives (STUN)
   1.2. Flow Timer

   This module provides C-API functions to enable Kamailio to be used as
   an outbound Edge Proxy (see RFC5626 section 5).

   The path and rr modules will bind to this module if it is loaded before
   they are.

1.1. Edge Proxy Keep-Alives (STUN)

   Outbound Edge Proxies MUST support STUN NAT keep-alives on their SIP
   UDP ports. Kamailio supports this though the “stun” module.

1.2. Flow Timer

   The maximum interval at which a User Agent must send a keep-alive may
   be specified by the Registrar using the Flow-Timer: header in 2xx
   responses to REGISTERs.

   When using TCP or TLS as the SIP transport care should be taken to set
   the “tcp_connection_lifetime” on the Edge Proxy to a value slightly
   larger than the interval the Registrar is using for flow timer. Setting
   “tcp_connection_lifetime” to less than the interval could cause
   connections to be lost, and setting it to a value much larger than the
   interval will keep connections open far longer than is required (which
   is wasteful).

   Application-layer keep-alives are optional when the underlying
   transport already has a keep-alive mechanism. The WebSocket transport
   has a transport-layer keep-alive. When using the WebSocket transport
   the “keepalive_timeout” should be set to a value a little greater than
   the Registrar flow timer interval and a little less than the
   “tcp_connection_lifetime”.
