<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since we have ramped up usage from about 2 SIP
phones to 30 SIP phones on our SER boxes to start some testing we are now
getting a LOT of "Out of memory" errors in the syslog. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We were originally running on a Sun Ultra60 with
Solaris 9 but changed to an Intel box running Redhat 9 since we thought that
there might be some memory leaks on Solaris. Unfortunately the problem
exists regardless of the OS. When we start SER, it usually works
fine for about 5 mins and then it starts giving the errors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have plenty of memory on both servers that we
have tested this on. Over a gig on each. Also, when I run top to
check system resources it tells me that there is still over 800 meg of physical
memory and over a gig of swap free even while SER is spitting out these
errors.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The errors that we are seeing the logs are as
follows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jan 14 13:32:45 jupiter /usr/sbin/ser[27179]:
ERROR: build_req_buf_from_sip_req: out of memory <BR>Jan 14 13:32:45 jupiter

jupiter /usr/sbin/ser[27179]: ERROR: t_forward_nonack: failure to add branches
<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We get these over and over again in the
syslog.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone know the reason that we
are getting these errors? Is this a bug with SER? or
misconfiguration somehow on our part? If so, how do we fix
it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have included our ser.cfg file as an attachment
to this email, and I have also included debug output from SER as a seperate
attachment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
