[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk leaving many UDP ports available.

[Deon George]

Hi there,

Should asterisk have many, many UDP ports open?

[root at router asterisk]# netstat -nap|grep asterisk|less
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:17920           0.0.0.0:*      19773/asterisk
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12544           0.0.0.0:*      19773/asterisk
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10240           0.0.0.0:*      19773/asterisk
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12800           0.0.0.0:*      19773/asterisk
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:17921           0.0.0.0:*      19773/asterisk
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:12545           0.0.0.0:*      19773/asterisk
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10241           0.0.0.0:*      19773/asterisk

... 

[root at router asterisk]# netstat -nap|grep asterisk|wc -l
    447

I know that the other day I had to recycle asterisk because I was getting 
"too many open files" errors in the log file (and asterisk was dead).
