What you suggest is that opensips originally intends to keep both 
registration and TCP connection for 10 mins, but the registration is 
removed after 5 mins while the connection is still alive for the next 5 
more mins  ? This is possible, but I see no harm. If the client still 
wants to use the old conn, it will be ok if opensips re-uses the old 
connection. If not, the client will close it and opensips will not use 
it any more.

Regards,
Bogdan
