Is there a guide on how to speed FS loading times? FS takes 10+ seconds to start which seems long (for a very simple configuration).

It's probably taking time to discover NAT.If you have a direct public IP and don't require NAT, you can instruct freeswitch to skip this step:

I found that the FreeSWITCH systemd service file already contains a –nonat option.  Maybe my expectations are out of line, should it take 10 seconds for FreeSWITCH to fully start?  My experience is with Asterisk, which is less than half of that to start.

If that’s normal, how can I diagnose what is consuming the start time?

Thanks

I’m looking at a crash recovery scenario, and during this startup period the calls in progress have no audio.  (And input media bypass is not an option due to topology)

are you sure -nonat is taking effect? thats about the only thing that would take any tome getting freeswitch startes up. without -nonat it takes many seconds for upnp/nat-pmp to timeout.

the only other way to avoid media loss is to do a full HA setup with proper floating IP and fencing. theres agoos bit of info on this on the wiki and various places on the web

I checked with “ps ax” and confirmed -nonat is running.  But I’ll investigate further using strace, and reload of pieces of the config., to see where the time is going.

I’m using HAfs (https://telium.io/hafs) to do the clustering (sensing, control, failover, syncing, IP movement, etc) and that works well, I just want to speed up the FreeSWITCH recovery speed.

Thanks

You can first try looking at the logs at startup time to see what's taking so long, in freeswitch.log-Avi Marcus

We do a look up against a DNS server in the code to check, maybe double check that isn't causing an issue?

What domain name does the code do a lookup for?  Perhaps it’s not resolving.  But I’ll check general DNS lookups too.,

It's trying to figure out which of your local ipv4 and ipv6 addresses can reach the internet.

That sounds like the cause; this machine has no route to the internet.

Is there a way to skip this test?

There is no way to disable that function currently. Pull requests are accepted, Stop by at the next office hours meeting next week and discuss it with us.

I’m curious – what are the office hours, and how do you meet?  Is this on Slack?
