Summary:                    Asterisk 1.6.1.6 not closing RTP ports after
connection
Description: 
At the start of the day, asterisk is using a couple of ports and
filehandles. After every call, the number of used file handles (lsof)
increases, and the number of open ports (netstat -a) also increases. At the
end of the day, with no calls in the system, after one full day of traffic,
the system shows 13000 open files and 12500 open ports. When asterisk is
restarted (not reloaded, it must be closed and reopened) all of the ports
and file handles are closed. If this is not done every night the system
will run out of ports and stop accepting calls.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Preliminary testing (a couple of calls made by myself) with
session-timers=refuse seems to indicate that ports and filehandles are
closing as expected. I will subject the server to a full day of traffic and
report back in 24 hours.

Is there anywhere I can read more about session timers? I like to learn
from my mistakes.

Thanks for the help!
