Re: [Sipp-users] Can't create raw socket (need to run as root?).

[Kayode O. <kay...@gl...>]

Hi Rob,

I now see the error
 
Can't create raw IPv4 socket (need to run as root?): Too many open files.

Just to confirm my ulimit -n value is 1048576

Do I need to increase that?

That's odd. I've added better logging to cover that error in the
latest code at https://github.com/SIPp/sipp - could you try it?
