What does - sip show peers -- "status" mean!

hello
On the asterisk CLI, when i type ‘sip show peers’,
i get a list of the clients that are registered in sip.conf.
Now, what does the column ‘Status’ mean?
Kindly reply.
thanks
Aparna

if asterisk is set up to “qualify” clients using qualify=yes or qualify=xxx, then status shows if the client is qualified (responds to a query within 2 seconds when qualify=yes, or within xxx ms when qualify=xxx). if a client isn’t qualified, then it’s unmonitored

ok…
and when will the status be set to ‘Unknown’ ?
thanks
