We are using Asterisk 1.0.9.<BR>
<BR>
In rtp.conf, we have:<BR>
<BR>
rtpstart=20000<BR>
rtpend=25000<BR>
<BR>
We only have around 500 SIP clients per server (not the 2,500 which the above settings could theoretically support). But our server, over time, keeps growing and growing the number of UDP ports in use. Using "lsof", we see another pair of ports get opened around every minute. My questions are:<BR>
<BR>
1. Is this normal, or is there a leak somewhere?<BR>
<BR>
2. After all 5,000 ports are opened, will Asterisk start recycling the ports already opened previously, or will it run out of resources for new calls?<BR>
<BR>
Thank you,<BR>
<BR>
