i think it's bug of freeswitch:

-- the Freeswitch using more than 1000% CPU, and there is no other process eating CPU
-- we move all SIP traffic from the server away, the cpu is low. and after sevral hours, if we move the SIP traffic back again, the FS eating all CPU again. the only way to recovery is to restart the FS.
-- there is no DB such as mysql on the server, and we have add "nosql"
option, no help
