Also note that this issue is separate from the clocking of TDM

channels, and is known to at least affect SIP registrations.

* FILE DESCRIPTORS
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the size of your system and your configuration,
|
||||
Asterisk can consume a large number of file descriptors. In UNIX,
|
||||
file descriptors are used for more than just files on disk. File
|
||||
descriptors are also used for handling network communication
|
||||
(e.g. SIP, IAX2, or H.323 calls) and hardware access (e.g. analog and
|
||||
digital trunk hardware). Asterisk accesses many on-disk files for
|
||||
everything from configuration information to voicemail storage.
|
||||
|
||||
Most systems limit the number of file descriptors that Asterisk can
|
||||
have open at one time. This can limit the number of simultaneous
|
||||
calls that your system can handle. For example, if the limit is set
|
||||
at 1024 (a common default value) Asterisk can handle approxiately 150
|
||||
SIP calls simultaneously. To change the number of file descriptors
|
||||
follow the instructions for your system below:
|
||||
|
||||
== PAM-based Linux System ==
|
||||
|
||||
If your system uses PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) edit
|
||||
/etc/security/limits.conf. Add these lines to the bottom of the file:
|
||||
|
||||
root soft nofile 4096
|
||||
root hard nofile 8196
|
||||
asterisk soft nofile 4096
|
||||
asterisk hard nofile 8196
|
||||
|
||||
(adjust the numbers to taste). You may need to reboot the system for
|
||||
these changes to take effect.
|
||||
|
||||
== Generic UNIX System ==
|
||||
|
||||
If there are no instructions specifically adapted to your system
|
||||
above you can try adding the command "ulimit -n 8192" to the script
|
||||
that starts Asterisk.
