SIP Calls Dropping At 15 Minutes

I have a problem where SIP calls from some providers are dropping at 15
minutes.

The topology is: Client sends calls to a host running OpenSIPS, OpenSIPS
sends calls to an Asterisk server.

Below,

‘Client’ is the IP address of the client’s host (running FPBX-2.8.1(1.8.20.0)

‘OpenSIPS’ is the IP address of my host running OpenSIPS 1.7.2-tls

‘Asterisk’ is the IP address of my host running Asterisk 11.17.1.

The relevant snippet of opensips.cfg is:

# 317
if ($rU =~ ‘317*’)
{
ds_select_dst(
’02’ # set-id (in dispatcher.list)
, ‘4’ # algorithm (4 = round-robin)
);
forward();
return;
}

where set-id 02 is ‘sip:Asterisk:5061’

The ‘Flow’ diagram from Wireshark from a tcpdump on the OpenSIPS host follows, hopefully the email clients will not mung it too much.

It works most of the time. 2) Can (or should) I configure Asterisk to not send the INVITE at 15 minutes? 3) Should OpenSIPS be responding differently to the INVITE at 15 minutes?
