For the typical home user who has a SIP ATA behind (usually) a Linksys home router/firewall, what's the best practice "qualify=" time we should be running on the server, to keep the home user's NAT happy?

The default, 2 seconds, is way too short (generates too much net traffic).

I am wondering how high we can go, and still make the majority of our customers' home nat's happy. 1 minute? 2 minutes? 10 minutes?

Thanks for opinions,

Based on my limited experience over the last several years, it would appear the Linksys products are not consistent in what they've used for nat table timeout values. It seems to vary by s/w version and by model.

I'd suggest starting at something like 60 seconds, evaluate, and reduce that value to find an acceptable value. (I'm running at 5 seconds on two Linksys boxes without issues, but I've not attempted to identify the upper limit on these.)
