Summary:                    after a few minutes it takes down the server
Description: 
Versions 1.6.X has a problem with UDP ports. I use SIP timers in my
sip.conf, so I imagine it its related. After a few minutes of intense
traffic, this linux command ("lsof -i | wc -l") shoots to 30.000+ and in
fact kills the machine, because the Kernel spends most of the time in a
single function, sock_poll. This is what the Parallels engineers have
found:
"this function finds a free socket that might be used for the data
transfer. Because your node have about 5000 already used sockets finding
free socket might take relatively big time. As far as I understand if
system is unable to find the free socket fast enough it just drops UDP
packet because there is no delivery guarantee for this protocol."
