Max number of sockets?

[dvtestguy]

I have a larger number of sockets on my 7513 Cisco switch, and cannot find what the max number is, when do they age out, will this cause any instabilities if maxed out, etc.

What I'm trying to do is...simulate a large number "soft phones" on PCs, then push them to a SUN server and then NAT'd out to a Network.

On my switch, I'll look at "sh ip nat trans | include 10.15.12.40" and see pages and pages of sockets taken. I understand that these "soft phones" will have a keepalive/polling, but not sure how the sockets on my cisco switch would be effected.

Any ideas, comments, etc ?
