Re: Issues with SIP packets between VZ Fios and NTT

Can someone try to recreate the problem with TCP/5060. Or do iperf
test on equivalent ports with UDP+TCP, to determine if the problem is
related specifically to UDP.

Most networks have some form of limits to even transit traffic, UDP is
most typical L4 to have policers.

Dovid Bender,

I'm seeing the  same sort of thing.  Polycom phones.   Multiple customers getting to me from Verizon in NYC area.  
I'm seeing phones register for a while, then drop off, then I see them trying to re-reg resulting in your 401 below.

Call me.  212 497 8015.  Let's look at this.

Thought of that. Customers have their own CPE's. So far the only thing mutual here is that it's NTT -> VZ. Here is 
what I found so far looking at two Polycom phones using non standard ports (e.g. not 5060)
1) PhoneA tries to register multiple extensions and for each request we send a 401. We expect to get back a REGISTER 
request with a no-once but we don't. This happens for a while and then magically it starts working.
2) PhoneB tries to register the time time as PhoneA and has no issues.

At first I thought it was something possibly with the SIP call-ID but I ruled that out since in the same SIP DIALOG 
it was not working then it started. Also the seems to be per phone each phone is behind NAT and the traffic is coming 
from a different NAT'd port. Seems like there is some device in the middle that is randomly dropping traffic on 
specific sessions.

Hi,

Over the last 48 hours we have been getting a lot of alerts of customers
phones losing registrations to us. All the complaints are coming from
customers that are on VZ Fios in the NYC area. Anyone else see anything
strange going on?



While you are diagnosing, might check to make sure that the SIP ALG is
disabled on all of their routers too.
