(OK - sorry for a 3rd attempt. I see that my message came up with no line breaks in the first two attempts). We are testing Asterisk (1.2.5, configured for an IP PBX) for the number of simultaneous multiple VoIP calls supported. Whenever we increase the number of SIP end points over 250, or the equivalent of 125 caller-callee pairs, our testing fails. In fact, adding even one additional pair of end points over the 250 makes all end points fail. I have pasted the console diagnostics posted by Asterisk below. Is there any inherent limitation either in Asterisk or Linux system resources that restricts the SIP end point count to 250? I though Asterisk is an open source SW with no restriction on the number of SIP endpoint seats. As I could see, my CPU has plenty of slack (idle time) left when tested with 250 SIP end points. Hence the desire to increase the simultaneous channel capacity of Asterisk. If you have configured your Asterisk IP PBX to serve more than 250 SIP end points, I would appreciate some help. Thanks,

Hari,

Try increasing the open file limit prior to running Asterisk by issuing the following command at the shell prompt:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ulimit -n 65536

If that doesn't fix the problem, edit "/etc/asterisk/logger.conf" so that it contains the following line:

messages => notice,warning,error,debug

This will capture diagnostic information to Asterisk's "messages" file (usually "/var/log/asterisk/messages"). Rerun your tests and compare the contents of "messages" during normal operation and failure. Be warned, if you turn on debugging at the CLI there will be a *lot* of information. To keep things simple, I recommend trying to diagnose the problem without debugging on the first couple of runs, then turning it on if you need more information.

You can also share the contents of the "messages" file with the list by pasting it directly into an email, or using <http://www.pastebin.ca> if the contents are very large.

Good luck,
