[Asterisk-Users] Moments of silence - take2

[Mark Hulber]

I'm not sure if a failed qualify will affect your active call but you 
might want to try to use the qualifysmoothing variable in iax.conf.  
This won't "disqualify" a peer for a single bad sample.

    ;qualify=yes                    ; Make sure this peer is alive
    ;qualifysmoothing = yes         ; use an average of the last two PONG
                                    ; results to reduce falsly detected
    LAGGED hosts
                                    ; Default: Off
    ;qualifyfreqok = 60000          ; how frequently to ping the peer when
                                    ; everything seems to be ok, in
    milliseconds
    ;qualifyfreqnotok = 10000       ; how frequently to ping the peer
    when it's
                                    ; either LAGGED or UNAVAILABLE, in
    milliseconds
