Check your log files.  With the current generation of SIP attack scripts,
I've seen hundreds of attacks come in within one second, especially if
you've got decent bandwidth.  I've seen fail2ban logs that state between
60-250 failed attempts for asterisk.  I think it's just the nature of the
speed of the attacks.
