At 1,000 registrations you should use another SIP registrar such as SER or break up the dial plan.
If it's a business system you should plan for 300 concurrent calls. We would put that on two PC servers with a third or fourth for conferencing and failover. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Welter Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 7:25 AM To: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion; Rich Adamson Subject: [asterisk-biz] Large System Does anyone know of an Asterisk system with 1000 SIP phones? I'm being asked to propose an alternative to Cisco/Avaya/Nortel pricing, but I've never contemplated a system this large. Should I consider a SER front end (to register the phones and for inter-company calling) with an Asterisk back end (to provide the PSTN interface)? Or would an Asterisk system handle 1000 phones? Ignoring conference bridges, how should the system be sized? Until now, I've ignored the Linux clustering discussions on the list. Should I consider a monolithic server or a distributed system with each server having ~250 phones and a PSTN interface? The real scary part of this project is the necessity to upgrade the wiring (both Cat3 and Cat5) in a very old (lath and plaster) building. I've observed two-prong (no ground) electrical plugs, so I'm thinking a PoE phone with PC jack at each work location. Or maybe a NetJack at each location. Thanks for your advice.
