Wowza logs are continuouslly throwing session not accepted messages with same session ids and this causes increase in cpu and memory usage and results in restart of wowza.

This affects the customers in peak time. Frequent restarts causing problem with customer .I couldn’t find any solution for this problem. I assume that the rejected session is not properly closed.

What has to be done to solve this issue?. Need a quick solution
