Maximum UDP port forward

I have a Cisco 2801 router with C2801-IPBASE-M IOS. I have already done a lot of port forward. Now if I want to add more udp port forward it give the following error:

Maximum UDP forwarding ports in use

Is there any limitation of UDP port forward? Can it be maximized by changing the router or ios?

Nat limitations are usually limited to the available memory in the router. Either that or you're trying to allocate more ports than exist on a given address.

I am not doing any nat there. We are providing a service for a software which need to be port forward. For each connectivity we need to forward 3 udp port with specific ip helper-address. Now the router is denying to add new portforward.

Fakrul,

There is indeed a hard limit of 200 ports you can configure for UDP flooding.
