RVOIP Session Core

Overview

The session-core library provides high-level SIP session coordination and management capabilities for the rvoip VoIP stack. It orchestrates SIP dialog lifecycles, media session coordination, and call control operations while integrating seamlessly with dialog-core (SIP protocol), media-core (audio processing), and call-engine (business logic).

✅ Core Responsibilities

Session Lifecycle Management: Coordinate SIP sessions from creation to termination
Call Control Operations: Handle, hold, resume, transfer, and bridge calls
SIP-Media Coordination: Synchronize SIP signaling with media session lifecycle
Event System: Provide event-driven architecture for call state changes
High-Level API: Abstract SIP complexity for application developers

❌ Delegated Responsibilities

SIP Protocol Details: Handled by dialog-core and transaction-core
Media Processing: Handled by media-core
Business Logic: Handled by call-engine
RTP Transport: Handled by rtp-core
SIP Message Parsing: Handled by sip-core

The Session Core sits at the coordination layer, providing high-level session management while delegating protocol details to specialized components:

    println!("🚀 SIP server running - auto-answering all calls");
    tokio::signal::ctrl_c().await?;
    Ok(())

use std::sync::Arc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // Production-grade session coordinator
    let coordinator = SessionManagerBuilder::new()
        .with_sip_port(5060)
        .with_local_address("sip:callcenter@pbx.company.com:5060")
        .with_rtp_port_range(10000, 20000)
        .with_max_sessions(1000)
        .with_session_timeout(Duration::from_secs(3600))
        .with_handler(Arc::new(CallCenterHandler::new()))
        .build()
        .await?;
    
    // Start accepting calls
    SessionControl::start(&coordinator).await?;
    
    // Monitor system health
    tokio::spawn(monitor_system_health(coordinator.clone()));
    
    // Wait for shutdown signal
    tokio::signal::ctrl_c().await?;
    SessionControl::stop(&coordinator).await?;
    Ok(())
}

#[derive(Debug)]
struct CallCenterHandler {
    queue: Arc<Mutex<VecDeque<IncomingCall>>>,
}

#[async_trait]
impl CallHandler for CallCenterHandler {
    async fn on_incoming_call(&self, call: IncomingCall) -> CallDecision {
        // Route based on called number
        match call.to.as_str() {
            "sip:support@pbx.company.com" => {
                self.queue.lock().unwrap().push_back(call);
                CallDecision::Defer  // Queue for agent assignment
            }
            "sip:sales@pbx.company.com" => {
                CallDecision::Forward("sip:sales-queue@internal".to_string())
            }
            _ => CallDecision::Accept(None)  // Auto-answer for other calls
        }
    }
    
    async fn on_call_established(&self, call: CallSession, _local_sdp: Option<String>, _remote_sdp: Option<String>) {
        println!("📞 Call {} established with real media", call.id());
        
        // Start quality monitoring for all calls
        let coordinator = call.coordinator();
        MediaControl::start_statistics_monitoring(
            &coordinator,
            call.id(),
            Duration::from_secs(5)
        ).await.ok();
    }
    
    async fn on_call_ended(&self, call: CallSession, reason: &str) {
        println!("📞 Call {} ended: {} (Duration: {:?})", 
                 call.id(), reason, call.duration());
    }
}

Network Configuration

Bind Address Configuration

Session-core respects configured bind addresses and propagates them through all layers:

// Configure specific IP addresses for production deployment
let coordinator = SessionManagerBuilder::new()
    .with_sip_port(5060)
    .with_local_bind_addr("173.225.104.102:5060".parse()?)  // Your server's IP
    .with_media_ports(10000, 20000)
    .build()
    .await?;

Key points:

The configured IP propagates to dialog-core and transport layers
No more hardcoded 0.0.0.0 addresses when you specify an IP
Works for both SIP signaling and media (RTP) traffic

Media Port Configuration

The library supports automatic port allocation when you use port 0:

// Port 0 signals automatic allocation from the configured range
let config = SessionManagerConfig {
    local_bind_addr: "192.168.1.100:0".parse()?,  // Port 0 = auto
    media_port_start: 10000,
    media_port_end: 20000,
    ..Default::default()
};

How it works:

Port 0: Means "allocate automatically when needed"
Actual Allocation: Happens when media sessions are created
Port Range: Uses the configured media_port_start to media_port_end
No Conflicts: Each session gets unique ports from the pool

Configuration Examples

// Example 1: Production server with specific IP
let coordinator = SessionManagerBuilder::new()
    .with_sip_port(5060)
    .with_local_bind_addr("203.0.113.10:5060".parse()?)
    .with_media_ports(30000, 40000)  // Custom RTP range
    .build()
    .await?;

// Example 2: Development with automatic ports
let coordinator = SessionManagerBuilder::new()
    .with_sip_port(0)  // Let OS assign SIP port
    .with_local_bind_addr("127.0.0.1:0".parse()?)
    .with_media_ports(10000, 11000)
    .build()
    .await?;

// Example 3: Docker/container with all interfaces
let coordinator = SessionManagerBuilder::new()
    .with_sip_port(5060)
    .with_local_bind_addr("0.0.0.0:5060".parse()?)  // Bind all interfaces
    .with_media_ports(10000, 20000)
    .build()
    .await?;

Best Practices

Production: Always use specific IP addresses for predictable behavior
NAT Traversal: Configure public IP but bind to private interface
Containers: Use 0.0.0.0 to work with container networking
Testing: Can use 127.0.0.1 or port 0 for flexibility
Scaling: Ensure sufficient port range for concurrent calls

Advanced Media Control and Quality Monitoring

use rvoip_session_core::api::*;

    coordinator: Arc<SessionCoordinator>,
    session_id: SessionId
) -> Result<()> {

Advanced Session Management

The library provides sophisticated session coordination while maintaining simplicity:

Session State Management

Complete state machine with validation:

Session State Flow:
Initializing → Dialing → Ringing → Connected → OnHold → Transferring → Terminating → Terminated
      ↓           ↓         ↓          ↓         ↓          ↓             ↓
  Cancelled   Cancelled  Rejected  Terminated  Resumed   Completed   Terminated

Resource Management and Health Monitoring

Granular Session Tracking: Per-user and per-endpoint resource limits
Automatic Cleanup: Terminated sessions cleaned up automatically
Health Monitoring: Session health checks and resource leak detection
Quality Monitoring: Real-time MOS scores, jitter, and packet loss tracking

Event-Driven Architecture

Session Events: Complete lifecycle event coverage
Media Events: Quality changes, codec switches, transmission state
Bridge Events: Conference participation and termination
Custom Events: Application-specific event propagation

        display_user_error("Please check the phone number format");
    }
    Err(SessionError::ResourceExhausted) => {
        log::warn!("System at capacity");
        attempt_load_balancing().await?;
    }
    Err(SessionError::SessionNotFound(session_id)) => {
        log::info!("Session {} not found, may have terminated", session_id);
        update_ui_call_ended().await;
    }
    Ok(session) => {
