[asterisk-users] Asterisk Unregisteres IAX Friend Randomly

Again, more info:

Since I added rtcachefriends=yes this problem went away, but I don't really want the friends to be cached, because I want changed to be applied ASAP.

Does anyone else have experience of the peers being unregistered before their time with rtcachefriends=no?

Nic.

I have tried this with windows firewall both on and off - same problem.

Thanks,
Nic.

Are you sure this isn't a Windows zeroconfig problem?  If Win drops the connection while * is talking to your client, the registration could drop too..

Bump! And some more information (see below for initial problem):

This problem is intermittent, but you don't have to wait long for it to happen.
Also, sometimes when the reregister happens (and the client has been wrongly unregistered) asterisk sends the correct response to the client indicating this has been a success when the database is not updated with a new regseconds time.

Any idea as to what I've done wrong / what's going on?

Thanks in advance.
Nic.

Hi,

I've been having a strange problem recently where real-time asterisk will unregister a IAX friend at random times when the registration should not have expired.

I have a Zoiper soft phone client (on windows) connecting to asterisk over a LAN (no firewalls). The default reregister time of 60 seconds is used, but the asterisk server unregisters the client (sets regseconds to 0 in the database) after a seemingly random time after registration say, 15 seconds (which is 45 seconds before registration expiry)

I set iax2 debug on, and set the core debug level to 5 so I could see the IAX2 control frames on the console.
I use pgAdmin-III to watch the value of regseconds in the database change from a registered value to 0.

When the "unregister" happens, there are no frames sent to / received from the client, and nothing else on the asterisk console. It just seems like asterisk decided to unregister the client for no reason. At this point placing a call to the client will fail, until the client reregisters (at the correct time) 45 seconds later.

I have seen this happen on both 1.6.2-rc8 and a trunk asterisk from yesterday (on different machines). I'm currently installing 1.6.0 to test that as well.
This only seems to happen with real-time asterisk. (I'm using Postgres for the backend database and the pgsql driver in extconfig.conf)

Any ideas what's going on here? Is this a known issue?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Dr. Nic Colledge
