[cisco-voip] SIP OPTIONS pings are blocked on Cisco CUBE 3945E - Resource failure, dropping OPTIONS

Hello

Anthony, thanks for the hint, but you were right this is not the core of
the issue.

I made some test via sipp with following results
1)
Test: Send 15xOPTIONS with the same Call-ID and From-tag
Result: All OPTIONS were replied

2)
Test: shortly after completing the above test I made another test: Send
15xOPTIONS with the same Call-ID as previously but different From-tag.
Result: None of the OPTIONS we’re replied.

3)
Test: Test 2 was re-run after a while
Result: All OPTIONS were replied

So it seems Cisco records the Call-ID and From-tag somewhere in memory and
drops subsequent OPTIONS with the same Call-ID and different From-tag that
come from the same endpoint for some time.

I have similar situation here.
The customer we are trying to connect sends several OPTIONS within
miliseconds.
First OPTIONS is replied properly, but subsequent packets with the same
Call-ID and different From-tag dropped.

Is there any solution for this.
Our customer is very reluctant to proceed with any changes (another open
source SIP proxies replies all the OPTIONS).

Thanks
Maciej.
