[cisco-voip] a strange flood of packets from ccm

I have received 88236 keepalive package in 190 min, separated by few
milliseconds of gap. That means I have received an average of 232 packets
for every 30 seconds or 464 per minute. This on publisher that is the
secondary server. The primary is the subscriber.
I have 600 phones but up and running around 500. So this seems compliant
to your indication.

So this means that is not a keepalive flood. I'm tring to understand what
a kind of service starts packets like this:

consider that the source address is the publisher (secondary server in ccm
cluster) the destination is a cisco ios voice gateway mod. 3745 connected
via wan (MPLS network).

nb. I have used awk,vi and bc for doing calc. My casio calc doesn't
support embedded linux! ;-)
