Description:The timeout for re-registrations at a VoIP-Server seem to be using absolute time instead of relative time.
This leads to the following behavior:
# Device boots, time is t (taken from RTC).
# Asterisk registers SIP with server
# NTP updates time to a past time (e.g., (t-2h)) or time is corrected manually by the user
# Asterisk sends no re-registers until the time is (t+20s). As a result, the registration times out at the server, while asterisk claims it is still registered.

While I cannot check, it is likely that other Asterisk versions are affected as well.
