Just guessing here, but it sounds like Asterisk sent a request, didn't
get a reply, sent again, didn't get a reply, and so on until it hit an
internal limit.  If my guess is correct, I suppose there could be many
causes, including:

* Target host down
* No path to the target
* Firewall blocking traffic
* Target host not running SIP, at least on the targeted port.
