We update docs/ and configs/ very often. We recently updated the behaviour on authentication for INVITEs as well in CVS head, the base for 1.2. We will now give up if we can't authenticate, so the call goes back to the dialplan with CONGESTION instead of trying forever and ever. /Olle --- Astricon 2005 - wanna speak?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SIP Registration --Giving up forever after very short network outage.
I updated 2 weeks ago and am due to update again... So Yes I will update It seems that the giving up forever feature is by design, As I had seen a post about it awhile back... But I would rather not have asterisk give up (forever) if it can't see a sip server. I feel retries should certainly back off in fact back way off like to once per some configurable time figure But not give up forever! In a single (non-redundant) phone system one wants it to come back and register back in unattended even if the Internet were down for several hours. :-) Actually I just needed the two settings that were mentioned previously... Not sure if the mentioned bug was of our concern, as my problem was not just with the fact that it timed out fast, but the fact that it could time out period and never try to re-register. I also would like to know where I could have found documentation of those two settings (registertimeout or registerattempts) As I had not been able to find those on my own or in the wiki. Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] SIP Registration --Giving up forever after very short network outage.
I'm looking for some help in how to keep asterisk from doing this. If we loose Internet or routing to our upstream provider even for only a few short minutes asterisk quickly gives up never tries again. I have to do a manual reload to get it to register with my sip provider(s) again before incoming calls are accepted. This is really bad as it causes us to loose the ability to get incoming calls now then. Not at all what we want in a phone system. How can I get asterisk to stop giving up so soon or better yet not give up at all... this is after all a phone system... I would really like it to register back in if the Internet goes down then comes back up 10 minutes later! I'm running CVS-HEAD (about two weeks old) Aug 24 19:08:13 NOTICE[7124]: chan_sip.c:4701 sip_reg_timeout:-- Registration for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' timed out, trying again (Attempt #8) Aug 24 19:08:16 NOTICE[7124]: chan_sip.c:4701 sip_reg_timeout:-- Registration for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' timed out, trying again (Attempt #11) Aug 24 19:08:16 NOTICE[7124]: chan_sip.c:4719 sip_reg_timeout:-- Giving up forever trying to register '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Thanks for your help !!!

Asterisk's DNS support is supposed to be improved in CVS-HEAD, but you should still try it. However, using an IP address instread of a hostname in your host= line could have issues with some ways a provider might do failover and load balancing. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Or is there a better place to find this stuff? A search on the wiki for registertimeout or registerattempts reveals absolutely nothing.
