The problem arrives when the clients use TCP:
- OpenSIPS cannot send NOTIFY/OPTIONS as keep-alive with TCP (due to
its design).
- Many clients don't implement keep-alive by itself.
- tcp_persistent_flag also depends on the client not closing the connection.

It's sad, but the only """reliable""" and always working solution to
mantain a TCP connection through NAT is using short interval (<32 sec)
for registration. Am I wrong?

PD: please please... implement keep-alive for TCP in OpenSIPS :)
