ulimit -Sa ulimit -Ha Which will show you your limits.
If you are hitting this limit and it's 16k I would say that the server is not tuned for your needs and upper it. If it's more then that but not reaching 1Million or any other very high number I would say use "lsof -n|wc -l" to get some statistics on the current state of the machine in the form of open FD and tune it properly to meet your environment.
