[Asterisk-bugs] Asterisk 1.2.7 memory

[ClaudioBarrios]

Hello everybody:

I want to know more about asterisk memory management or how asterisk use the
RAM memory .

At this moment in our installation we have 55 active calls and this memory
scenario ....

top - 14:40:58 up 21 days,  2:34,  2 users,  load average: 1.06, 0.76, 0.72
Tasks:  72 total,   1 running,  71 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 13.0% us,  2.6% sy,  0.0% ni, 79.0% id,  0.0% wa,  4.7% hi,  0.7% si
Mem:   2074812k total,  2054780k used,    20032k free,      952k buffers
Swap:  2031608k total,   652596k used,  1379012k free,    13996k cached

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

18209 root      17   0  4860 1432 1160 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.02 bash

Look that asterisk are consuming 1.9 GB of RAM, the server has 2 GB of RAM
installed

To solve this situatio we are executing restart when convinient to free
memory

The platform is configured in a CentOS 4.1 and Asterisk 1.2.7

Can anyone help us????

Best regards
