Parameter  Description 
Retransmission Parameters 
SIP T1 Retransmission Timer 
[msec] 
[SipT1Rtx] 
The time interval (in msec) between the first transmission of a SIP message and the first 
retransmission of the same message. 
The default is 500. 
 
Note: The time interval between subsequent retransmissions of the same SIP message 
starts with SipT1Rtx and is multiplied by two until SipT2Rtx. 
 
For example (assuming that SipT1Rtx = 500 and SipT2Rtx = 4000): 
The first retransmission is sent after 500 msec. 
The second retransmission is sent after 1000 (2*500) msec. 
The third retransmission is sent after 2000 (2*1000) msec. 
The fourth retransmission and subsequent retransmissions until SIPMaxRtx are sent 
after 4000 (2*2000) msec. 
SIP T2 Retransmission Timer 
[msec] 
[SipT2Rtx] 
The maximum interval (in msec) between retransmissions of SIP messages. 
The default is 4000. 
 
Note: The time interval between subsequent retransmissions of the same SIP message 
starts with SipT1Rtx and is multiplied by two until SipT2Rtx. 
SIP Maximum Rtx 
[SIPMaxRtx] 
Number of UDP retransmissions of SIP messages. 
The range is 1 to 7. 
The default value is 7.
