Penalty Box Enable
Indicates whether the unit uses the penalty box feature.
The penalty box feature is used when a given host FQDN
resolves to a non-responding address. When the address times
out, it is put into the penalty box for a given amount of
time. During that time, the address in question is considered
as 'non-responding' for all requests.
This feature is most useful when using DNS requests returning
multiple or varying server addresses. It makes sure that, when
a host is down, users wait a minimal amount of time before
trying a secondary host.
The penalty box is always 'active'. This means that even if
the feature is disabled, IP addresses are marked as invalid,
but they are still tried. The advantage is that when the
feature is enabled, IP addresses that were already marked as
invalid are instantly put into the penalty box.
When enabled, this feature takes effect immediately on the
next call attempt.
The penalty box feature is applied only when using UDP or TCP
connections established with a FQDN. A similar penalty box
feature for the TLS connections is available via the
SipEp.TransportFailbackInterval parameter.
See also the PenaltyBoxTime parameter.
