Before you can take advantage of what OpenSER has to offer, you should become familiar with the the various RFC's associated with SIP communication.

AVP stands for Attribute - Value Pair. Basically, it maps an attribute for example, "NPA" to a value such as "212". The AVP's do have the ability to use databases to store and retrieve values, however, this is not a requirement. The configuration file can set, test and/or access an AVP without any database access. In real life situations, you will most probably want to use a database to store and retrieve AVP's.

RPID is defined here: http://www.iptel.org/ietf/security/identity/draft-ietf-sip-privacy-04.txt

I thought AVP stuff was database related.... this confuses me even more. I am reading the documentation you know.... constantly. Considering it looks like it was written by the people who developed OpenSER, there's a lot of implied/assumed knowledge there, and the scripting language is very high level, it's bloody difficult to work out what the documentation means. For example... where's the definitiaion of AVP? I still can't find what an 'rpid' is.

        i don't know what is cracy, since no database interaction is needed to 
set
        a timer.  timers can be set in many different ways.  read usrav
        documentation.
