Hi, thanks for the reply and advice. I'd appreciate that. It's been
quite sometimes after I'm working on this (forgot about this email
already) but with recent problem I have, I think we have to open new
connection in the handler thread if we want to send another command
over the esl socket. We can't reuse the same connection in the main
thread.

Since we're at this, what you think about doing billing in python ? It
sound crazy but after seeing cgrates also doing the billing over the
event socket, I think maybe it feasible -

I've started a PoC of billing in python and it seem to work, although
I haven't put it under load and concurrent tests yet.
