[asterisk-users] Realtime Peers Disappearing

[Douglas Garstang]

Can someone tell me what this is about? Asterisk seems to be 'losing' peers. Usually when a peer isn't known (such as when you first start Asterisk), Asterisk will do a database lookup and find the peer, and then seed them.

I tried to dial 3254101, and I get the error below. I ran an ngrep and Asterisk isn't even doing a database query to find the peer. Why would it be doing this? It's almost as if Asterisk is expiring the phone before the phone re-registers. The phone is registering with a 900s expirey period. Asterisk has maxexpirey=3600 and defaultexpiry=900 in sip.conf. When the phone re-registers, Asterisk repopulates the peer with it's IP address.
