I know this is probably a very basic question for many on this list. But in 
troubleshooting an issue, I wanted to take a step back & ask the question. In 
Asterisk (or maybe all SIP), how do extensions stay registered with the SIP 
server?

Do the extensions simply register repeatedly as a means of telling asterisk 
"I'm still here", or are there actual keepalive packets that are transmitted to 
actually keep a TCP session alive? My guess is the former.

But am I oversimplifying it? Is there more to the process?

Thanks,
