We have two Avaya IP Office PBX on different location and both are using similiar SIP trunk configuration and same service provider. Recently, we noticed a couple of SIP out of services on one of our IP Office in every week. By using sysmonitor, we found that PBX was sending one special OPTIONS message, which is totally different from the regular OPTIONS messages (default 30000 msecond interval) when we got SIP out of services. The message looks like below,

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - PROXY SERVER
YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY - PBX WAN INTERFACE

As seen from above, the response is 401 Unauthorized as Unknown@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX couldn't get authorized on proxy server. However, the other PBX using almost exactly same configuration never sends this kind of OPTIONS messages. The most annoying thing is the PBX thinks SIP service is down when receives 401 error. At the same time, every out of service will cleared in 1 minute or so.

really appreciate any idea regarding this issue.
