For registrations, does voxalot send a timely packet to ensure the connection is still registered i.e. OPTIONS packet? If so, (if I may ask) how often is it sent?

The reason I ask is after some digging, I found the following thread:

Trixbox & iinetphone failed calls - Asterisk - Voice over IP
(although, I don't know how valid it is nowadays)

The qualify=yes option in Asterisk sends an OPTIONS request packet to the SIP server every 2 seconds (default value). It sounds like, for this particular user, iiNet temporarily blocked him due to 'hammering' the SIP server.

If this is the case with voxalot, i.e. sending an OPTIONS request packet at a regular interval (let's say, 30 or 60 seconds), would it be possible the number of SIP registrations to iiNet cause iiNet to block voxalot due to the assumed 'hammering'?
