asterisk users - Jun 2005 - iax went away

I just had a situation where I could not get calls from or out to one of my
IAX2 boxes to another.

The one which seemed to have a problem didn't show the server in its
"iax2
show registry" list.  I reloaded and the register showed up.

Looking at the server, when I called the number I got the message:

Jun  2 20:48:34 NOTICE[25542]: chan_iax2.c:2209 auto_congest: Auto-congesting
call due to slow response

Since I have qualify=yes, I suspected that slow response caused the server to
take the other host off-line.  However, things had been fine on the network
most of the day.

Just after the above message, I did an "iax2 show peers" and it listed
that
host as 26ms away.  Not too bad...

I did a reload on the server and after that all seems normal.

So it appears that the server and client lost touch for a bit and apparently
gave up trying to reach the other.  I can see the server giving up if maybe
the IP address changed or something, but why didn't the client keep trying
to
register?  Did I maybe dork a config setting somewhere that it isn't
retrying?

Thanks!

Every few days I start to see the following error message:

Jun  3 02:52:28 WARNING[26728]: chan_sip.c:886 retrans_pkt: Maximum retries
exceeded on call 5da8b193201b4a2d37e49bc4658aad5d@192.168.32.56 for seqno
104 (Critical Request)


192.168.32.56 is my * box.  Once I start to see the message it repeats
every few seconds.  It seems to happen when * tries to connect to FWD.
After seeing this I am no longer able to connect to FWD.  Even calling the
echo test fails.

Can anyone explain this?


TIA,
