Hmmm.... I agree that altering sip.conf with the RTP timeouts are somewhat of a band-aid to the issue. But in my observations there is one clear indicator that I am shocked is not used.<br><br>When I have done this test - pulling the network cable on a device during a call - Asterisk actually reports that the SIP device has become unreachable within seconds of the device's removal.<br>
<br>Now one would think, just like a regular phone company, if one device became unresponsive (unreachable), the call would be automatically dropped. Like unplugging from a POTS while on a call.<br><br>So why would Asterisk not use the following logic: <br>
Is Device reachable?<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">Yes - Do nothing<br><br>No - Close all calls bridged to device<br></div><br>Seems that would solve the issue quickly and cleanly... perhaps with the RTP timeout being an additional measure of safety<br>
<br>Is this an issue present in the latest version of Asterisk? My hope was it was simply an older bug, fixed at some later trunk.<br>
