Kamailio uses its own pool of memory that is specified at startup (-m 
and -M command line parameters, see 'man kamailio' or 'kamailio -h').

Usage of mysql or rtpproxy do not impact much what kamailio needs, with 
the higher subscribers number, perhaps you are fine with 2-4GB of shared 
memory (it can be ok even less, though) and 8MB of private memory. 
Shared memory needs are a matter of what caching modules you are using 
and number of records (usrloc and location records, tm and active 
transactions, dialog and active calls, mtree/lcr/... and afferent records).

You can watch how much memory is used simulating with sipp based on your 
config and adjust the values.

Cheers,
Daniel
