<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
We have a bit of confusion regarding tcp_connecton_timeout
core parameter. </div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
are you talking about tcp_connect_timeout or tcp_connection_lifetime?<br>
<br>
Are you using tcpops module?<br>

<div>The documentation says,<br>
<br>
--<br>
Lifetime in seconds for TCP sessions. TCP sessions which are
inactive for longer than <strong>tcp_connection_lifetime</strong>
will be closed by Kamailio.<br>
--<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>However we observe a strange behaviour.<br>
<br>
1. The connection is NOT closed by Kamailio unless we
additionally set "close_expired_tcp" parameter in usrloc
module,<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
How do you monitor if the connection is still open or not? Have you
used kamcmd to list opened connection?<br>
<br>

<div>2. Secondly, if we set this parameter to a smaller value
say 70 seconds while sip register expiry is 600 seconds (and
close_expired_tcp parameter enabled in usrloc module), the
connection still remains active (tested after keeping it idle
for 120 seconds then sending a sip request on this connection,
we expected the request to fail but it does not fails).<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
How did you sent the sip request on this connection? Can you detail
why you expected to fail? Depending on config options, the server
can also open a new connection.<br>

<div>3. if we set this parameter to greater then sip register
value, e.g. 610 seconds and set close_expired_tcp parameter in
usrloc, then we observe disconnect after about 8-10 minutes.
Whereas we expect it to continue since user is re-registering
every 600 seconds.<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
A disconnect can happen from various reason. Have you watched the
network packets to see what side closed the connection? You should
run kamailio with debug=3 to get more verbose log messages, that
should give more hints about what happens there.<br>

</div>
<div>Can you guys explain why this is happening? What keeps a
tcp connection active or makes it inactive? <br>
<br>
We are using websockets (which use TCP at lower layer) and we
observe there is no websocket frame sent or received over the
tcp connection, yet it remain active after
tcp_connection_lifetime in case 2 above and becomes inactive
in case 3.<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
Note that there is also a keepalive mechanism at tcp layer.<br>
<br>
Your report is just listing some conclusions, we need more details
on how you tested (some questions asked above) to be able to analyze
properly here and be able to assist.<br>
<br>
