Hi Nash,

It is somewhere in the middle :). Of course the DB ops will bring some penalties to the performance, so you need to take care and tune your DB for the best performance (not to drag down opensips). With db ops is very common in OpenSIPS scripts, so you do not do anything crazy or stupid there.

Of course, you should look into optimizing the DB ops you use:
- DB auth - use caching at script level (see http://www.opensips.org/Documentation/Tutorials-MemoryCaching)
    - ACC - consider using db_flatstore to avoid writing into a real DB
- dialog - if not really a must use db modes 2 or 3 (http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.11.x/dialog.html#id294001)

I have used opensips for load balancing and some border proxy+ NAT+rtpproxy in past and am quite happy with it. Recently I decided to add DB operations (Auth and accounting, routing and dialog into it so that heavy lifting of VOIP network can be given to opensips. I wanted to send call to PBX only when it is really needed (Like voicemail and conference etc)

But in a long time I saw this article http://www.opensips.org/Documentation/TroubleShooting-FindPerfPb

As per this tutorial I think if any DB operation is slow, it will hit overall performance (I mean the transactions which do not require DB can also be stuck).

I know good engineers at openisps have already figured it out and working on 2.X version but looks like it will take a while so that I can give it a try (As dialog is not in current release).

With 1.X series + DB auth/acc + dialog should I reconsider my approach or there are systems running successfully and I am just being paranoid?

John
