One of the main benefits of qualify=yes is to detect network problems with peers. We send a lot of calls via a service provider using SIP but we have qualify-yes set so that if it becomes unreachable the dial fails immediatly without having to wait for a timeout which enables us to seamlessly f

We have a tenant who has been having issues with a congested connection and in trouble shooting it we've noticed that there seems to be a lot of SIP traffic even when none of the phones are doing anything. We've determined that this traffic is mostly INFO packets generated by setting qualify=2
