  Mediant 500L Gateway & E-SBC 
Parameter  Description 
after 3600 x 70% (i.e., 2520 sec). 
Note:  
  The parameter may be overridden if the parameter 
RegistrationTimeThreshold is greater than 0. 
Registration Retry Time 
configure voip > sip-definition 
settings > registration-retry-time 
[RegistrationRetryTime] 
Defines the time interval (in seconds) after which a registration 
request is re-sent if registration fails with a 4xx response or if 
there is no response from the Proxy/Registrar server. 
The default is 30 seconds. The range is 10 to 3600. 
Note: Registration retry time can also be configured with the 
MaxRegistrationBackoffTime parameter. 
Max Registration Backoff Time 
configure voip > sip-
definition proxy-and-
registration > max-
registration-backoff-time
[MaxRegistrationBackoffTime] 
Defines a dynamic time-to-wait interval before the device 
attempts to regi
ster the SIP entity again after a registration failure. 
The parameter is applicable only to registrations initiated by the 
device on behalf of SIP entities (for example, User Info, Accounts, 
Endpoints or the device itself) with a SIP proxy server (registrar).  
The valid value is 0 to 3000000 (i.e., 3 million seconds). The 
default is 0 (i.e., disabled). 
In contrast to the RegistrationRetryTime parameter, which defines 
a fixed time to wait between registration attempts due to 
registration failure, this parameter configures the device to 
increase the time-to-wait interval for each subsequent registration 
attempt (per RFC 5626, Section 4.5) for a specific registration 
flow. In other words, the interval changes between registration 
attempts. 
The parameter operates together with the RegistrationRetryTime 
parameter. When the MaxRegistrationBackoffTime parameter is 
configured, the wait-time before another registration attempt 
increases after each failed registration (until it reaches the 
maximum value specified by the parameter).  
The device uses the following algorithm to calculate the 
incremental augmented wait-time between each registration 
attempt: 
Wait Time = min (max-time, (base-time * (2 ^ 
consecutive-failures))) 
Where: 
  max-time is the value configured by 
MaxRegistrationBackoffTime  
  base-time is the value configured by RegistrationRetryTime 
For example, if max-time is 1800 seconds and base-time is 30 
seconds, and there were three consecutive registration failures, 
then the upper-bound wait time is the minimum of (1800, 
30*(2^3)), which is (1800, 240) and thus, the minimum of the two 
values is 240 (seconds). The actual time the device waits before 
retrying registration is computed by a uniform random time 
between 50% and 100% of the upper-bound wait time (e.g., for 
an upper-bound wait-time of 240, the actual wait-time is between 
120 and 240 seconds). As can be seen from the algorithm, the 
upper-bound wait time can never exceed the value of the 
MaxRegistrationBackoffTime parameter. 
Registration Time Threshold 
configure voip > sip-definition 
Defines a threshold (in seconds) for re-registration timing. If the 
parameter is greater than 0, but lower than the computed re-
