Hello,

one addition - the init and systemd service files just set the appropriate 
startup variables:

~/repositories/kamailio/src> ./kamailio -h | grep mem
    -m nr        Size of shared memory allocated in Megabytes
    -M nr        Size of private memory allocated, in Megabytes
[..]

If you look to the kamailio.service systemd file, they can be also changed 
there.


Best regards,

Henning
