[asterisk-users] sip attacks

My asterisk server is getting bogged down every 5 minutes.  My ping time is
going from 60ms to 800 ms and the call quality is bad.

I have fail2ban running and I am using iptables.  I have two ip connections
to the box.

How can I tell if the poor performance is due to sip attacks?   I don't see
any reg attempts in my asterisk cli.  I use to get frequent attacks but
fail2ban seems to be taking care of that.

See how ping time gets worst in a short space of time and server performance
at the time:
