Hi guys,

Am having a strange SIP problem in my call centre. The call centre has about 70 
SIP agents (some of the are using SIP hard phones, other SIP softphones), and 
occasionally most of the SIP peers (hardphones and softphones) become 
UNREACHABLE and then after few second again REACHABLE. Some hardphones and 
softphones work perfectly normal during that period (even normally responding 
to OPTIONS message), but most of them get UNREACHABLE.

I don't have NAT - phones and Asterisk are in the same subnet, so nothing 
complicated really (regarding network configuration).

I'm currently suspecting my network to be the problem, but I would just like to 
confirm with you guys, if you have any similar experiences, what could be 
causing this?

Please, see bellow one of the sample SIP traces.

Regards,
Alex
