Opened: Jan 16, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The media flows get terminated after the UDP idle timeout expires on a Standby device.

Impact

SIP calls fail to deliver media when high availability (HA) failover occurs.

Conditions

-- High availability (HA) configuration. -- SIP media calls on a SIP-ALG with SNAT feature enabled.

Workaround

Partial mitigation is to set the UDP idle timeout to a higher value.

Fix Information

Properly set SIP ALG media pinhole connection flags so that to not time out due to inactivity on the next active device.
