Define: inet port exhaustion?

During various load tests within our environment, I'm seeing the following errors in our logs:     p-bigip1 local/tmm crit tmm[5406]: 01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 199.83.xx.xx to 10.2.1.1...

FYI this is not for a SNAT, just a VIP with a pool of servers that were being load tested.

 

 

Here's the response to a my inquiry to F5 Support about being concerned that this exhaustion might impact our production VIPs:

 

 

"If you are not seeing this error in conjunction with a SNAT, you won't see an impact on the production traffic. You are correct, the number of ports per node is exhausted and shouldn't affect the other nodes, given that your test and production nodes are not the same."
