asterisk users - Feb 2004 - IAXTEL and the registration traffic

Hi,

I have an full-time Internet connection with a limited amount of traffic per
month included in the subscription.
What can I do to reduce the registration traffic with IAXTEL which makes
about 10MB/h?
There is any way to keep the registration active ( I have a static IP
address) without the need to register all the time?

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,

Sounds like something is not set up correctly or something else is happening.
I just used a sniffer to qualify my connection, and over a 24 minute period 
there was a total of 13,379 bytes of traffic (no calls). Analyzing the actual 
packets indicates five packets occur every 49.7 seconds, and those packets 
(with headers) contained a total of 426 bytes.

If I did the math correctly, that would suggest 10 megabytes of traffic every
13.5 days (not per hour).

Sorry... it is 1MB/h (in one direction), not 10MB/h (typing error), but
still 24MB/day and for my 500MB/month subscribtion is far to much....

This is a tipical pattern per hour for some consecutive hours (for the
IAXTEL IP address = 69.73.19.178):

Bytes IN            Bytes Out
1095782             612157
1311197             711965
998204                609221
933824                564551
898926                659942
964465                584633
1072279            623968
1346958            723229
929689             566929
946151             557085

Anyhow... there is any other way to keep registration without the need to
reregister?

Thank you and best regards,
Dan
