asterisk users - Dec 2012 - What is the maximum number of meetme's allowed?

Hello,

What is the maximum number of meetme's allowed by asterisk.

On my server with an 8 GB memory, I start getting the following error
after 150-160 meetme's are created

WARNING[3485]: app_meetme.c:1820 conf_run: Unable to open DAHDI pseudo
channel: Cannot allocate memory

At this time the server still has about 6 GB of free memory. I even
tried this on a server with higher memory, it gives the same result.

I am using asterisk 1.4.44.

What architecture are you using? You would need to be running a 64 bit OS to
take advantage of the higher memory.

You have probably run out of file descriptors. Try
ulimit -n 8192
before starting asterisk (or in the safe_asterisk-script or the
init.d-script).

I think this is per default 1024 on debian, and if you use sip + meetme
you will hit the limit with about 150 concurrent calls.
