[asterisk-ss7] SS7 Solution Needed

[Vashkar Chatterjee]

The matter is with the greater density of port is with the chan drivers.
chan_ss7 has no issue with higher densisty of ports, but the sip driver of
asterisk sometimes gets segfault. If you want to use the ast sip driver,
better to look into the code and do the bug fixing for the segfault.
