I saw this message in June, too. Context each time was the same ISP (-> not Deutsche Telekom!) as described above in conjunction with registration retries, too. - Registration configuration of this provider: <Registration/ServerURI..............................> <Auth..........> <Status.......> ========================================================================================== ispPJSIP/sip:isp.de ispPJSIP Registered ParameterName : ParameterValue ============================================================== auth_rejection_permanent : true client_uri : sip:0049...@isp.de contact_user : +49... endpoint : ispPJSIP expiration : 3600 fatal_retry_interval : 0 forbidden_retry_interval : 10 line : true max_retries : 10000 outbound_auth : ispPJSIP outbound_proxy : retry_interval : 60 server_uri : sip:isp.de support_path : false transport : 0.0.0.0-tls The expiration value given above is not true. isp.de forces ReRegistration each 90s (asterisk does it each 60s if I remember correctly)! Contact: <sip:+49...@isp-ip:5061;transport=TLS;line=....>;expires=90 - After performing the restart of asterisk, registration to the isp.de hadn't any problem any more. Therefore I think, the reregistration problem wasn't a problem of the provider not answering but in fact a problem of asterisk being unable to correctly perform the ReRegistration. The final question: =================== Is there a problem with taskprocessors probably not being canceled on some conditions (maybe unanswered or hanging registrations?) and therefore steadily growing up and using more and more open files (and memory) until asterisk can't do anything anymore because some limits are exceeded as a result? Could there be a problem with the retry interval 60s and the real ReRegister done each 60s, too (performing a "fork" bomb)?
