             Summary: IAX2 other than default qualify timer is only taken into account when peer is UNREACHABLE
                 Key: ASTERISK-22352
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-22352
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Channels/chan_iax2
    Affects Versions: 1.8.23.0
            Reporter: Frederic Van Espen
            Severity: Minor


When I try to use a qualify timer value for an IAX other than the default 2000ms, this value is only taken into account when the peer is UNREACHABLE. When the peer is REACHABLE, it uses the default value * 2.

This results in a "flapping" state of the peer on high latency networks:
- When the peer is in REACHABLE state, we expect a response within 4000ms.
- When the peer is in UNREACHABLE state, we expect a response within whatever time is configured in the peer.

I can reproduce this with this configuration:
[remote-host]
type=friend
host=172.16.6.45
username=remote-host
secret=test
notransfer=yes
qualify=16000
qualifyfreqnotok=30000

disallow=all
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
allow=ilbc

auth=md5
encryption=no

On remote host I configure a delay of 6000ms:
~# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 6000ms

The result in the logs:

I did not test on asterisk 10 or 11, but by looking at the code it appears to be present in those releases as well
