I have no control over the Asterisk behaviour.

I am running a SIP proxy, so I don't think NAT keepalive is relevant
(of course I may be wrong...)

AFAIK timeout is sent at registration time to the sip registrar to say
how long the registration should be considered valid.
This is why I think the client (ekiga) should be sending register
requests at intervals less than the specified timeout.

Yes I have. In this case, the OPTIONS requests stop after 600 seconds.
Ekiga never sends another REGISTER after the ones it sends at startup.
