What is the problem with SIP retransmits?
-----------------------------------------
Sometimes you get messages in the console like these:
- "retrans_pkt: Hanging up call XX77yy - no reply to our critical packet."
- "retrans_pkt: Cancelling retransmit of OPTIONs"
The SIP protocol is based on requests and replies. Both sides send
requests and wait for replies. Some of these requests are important.
In a TCP/IP network many things can happen with IP packets. Firewalls,
NAT devices, Session Border Controllers and SIP Proxys are in the
signalling path and they will affect the call.
And
What can I do?
--------------
Turn on SIP debug, try to understand the signalling that happens
and see if you're missing the reply to the INVITE or if the
ACK gets lost. When you know what happens, you've taken the
first step to track down the problem. See the list above and
investigate your network.
For NAT and Firewall problems, there are many documents
to help you. Start with reading sip.conf.sample that is
part of your Asterisk distribution.
The SIP signalling standard, including retransmissions
and timers for these, is well documented in the IETF
RFC 3261.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Dropping Phone Calls
Hi All,
I'm currently having trouble with dropped phone calls. The following error
message is always in the log. This is a Grandstream GXP-2000 Firmware
1.1.6.16 . The Asterisk box is currently 1.4.22-rc5. The problem has been
occurring on other versions also.
[Sep 19 15:48:02] WARNING[13657]: chan_sip.c:1958 retrans_pkt: Maximum
retries exceeded on transmission 8acaea6dc4c6e9b5 at 10.11.17.23 for seqno
50706 (Critical Response) -- See doc/sip-retransmit.txt.
[Sep 19 15:48:02] WARNING[13657]: chan_sip.c:1980 retrans_pkt: Hanging up
call 8acaea6dc4c6e9b5 at 10.11.17.23 - no reply to our critical packet (see
doc/sip-retransmit.txt).
Any Ideas?
Regards,
Todd Reese
