Thanks Phil.
That clarifies my doubt.

Hi,* ... adding new socket proxy address * port 61412
I have been using freeradius 2.2 for a while now.
When i start the radius server in debug mode, I observed server creating
proxy sockets. please find the log below.
*Listening on authentication address * port 1812
... adding new socket proxy address * port 61413
... adding new socket proxy address * port 61414
Listening on accounting address * port 1813
What i observed is every time i restart the server, i see the port
numbers increasing instead of same port numbers being used.
My question is does that mean that the previously used port
numbers(61409, 61410, 61411) are not freed properly?
No.
The proxy socket doesn't define a port to bind to, since it's a client socket. The OS controls the port, and is responsible for it increasing over time.
The old ports are freed just fine when the old process exits.
