[asterisk-users] No reply to SIP OPTIONS - sip peers becoming randomly UNREACHABLE

Hi guys,

Am having a strange SIP problem in my call centre. The call centre has about 70 SIP agents (some of the are using SIP hard phones, other SIP softphones), and occasionally most of the SIP peers (hardphones and softphones) become UNREACHABLE and then after few second again REACHABLE. Some hardphones and softphones work perfectly normal during that period (even normally responding to OPTIONS message), but most of them get UNREACHABLE.

I don't have NAT - phones and Asterisk are in the same subnet, so nothing complicated really (regarding network configuration).

I'm currently suspecting my network to be the problem, but I would just like to confirm with you guys, if you have any similar experiences, what could be causing this?

Please, see bellow one of the sample SIP traces.

Regards,
Alex
