Total socket count steadily increasing, tcp/udp sockets steady. Why?

I have a server (Ubuntu 16.04.5) running sockets.io and a few other things



TCP connections are as follows:



root@01:~# netstat -an| awk '/tcp/ print $6'|sort|uniq -c
44 CLOSE_WAIT
518 ESTABLISHED
71 FIN_WAIT1
15 FIN_WAIT2
5 LAST_ACK
10 LISTEN
26 SYN_RECV


However the total socket allocated count is much higher and steadily increasing...why?



root@01:~# ss -s
Total: 6128 (kernel 6144)
TCP: 6028 (estab 523, closed 5381, orphaned 7, synrecv 0, timewait 0/0), ports 0

Transport Total IP IPv6
* 6144 - -
RAW 0 0 0
UDP 4 3 1
TCP 647 644 3
INET 651 647 4
FRAG 0 0 0


This server is running about 5 or 6 different python apps and sockets.io. When the server reaches this level of ~6144 sockets it stops accepting new ones. As you can see, there aren't really that many active connections so what is going on here? It's got me stumped.



Thanks
