in theory, a gigabit interface can move 1048576Kbit/sec - now if i generously allocate 96Kbit/sec for every G.711 call, the network transport can handle, again in theory, 10922 simultaneous calls. would it be wrong to expect performance near this mark for the asterisk software?
10922 on any currently available PC architecture? Nope. It's closer to 160 kpbs per call (two legs, 80 kbps each) in either direction. With 20 ms packet size, for 10922 calls you'd be looking at 2184400 packets/sec processed by Asterisk... I don't think so. Plus with 10922 calls and an average of 2 mins/call, you're looking at about 90 call setups/tear downs a second. I don't think even without running the RTP through Asterisk this box could handle 10922 concurrent calls. --Luki _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
