Is there a limit to create sockets on UNIX??

Nope.  "Too many open files" really means "too many open file
descriptors in this process"; a socket in any family uses a file
descriptor, so switching to another family won't help.

Yup, the per-process file descriptor limit is the problem.  This limit
varies from 20 to 64 to 256 in some systems.
