So you have total calls = 20802. Does this number grow over time?

IIRC, peak shows maximum concurrent calls.
What command line do you use to start SIPP? I see your call rate is 10 calls/sec and maximum calls set to 100. Have you tried experimenting with increasing the call rate (-r command line parameter)? How long is the recording you are playing or have you set a call length for SIPP (-d command line option) - that is, how long are your calls?

SIPP generates just as many calls as specified - if you have 10 calls per sec, it's quite logical to have ~90 ongoing calls after 9 secs. If your recording is about 9 secs, then the first calls will end at that time and you will never have more than ~90 concurrent calls.
