Connection quality via remote SIP (outside our network via internet) can be terrible (using GSM), though obviously theres a whole bunch of other
issues there, so I'm focusing just on the internal network and IAX.

Our connectivity to our IAX/PSTN provider is u-law, so should be ok but
isn't.

What does -p do ?

All,

I've a question on A*k hardware.

I'm running 1.2.18 on a Dell DC051 (Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.80GHz)
with 512mb RAM.
I'm supporting 60 users (Cisco 7940s each + Xlite PCs).
Call loads are low, max of about 10 simultaneous SIP/IAX calls.
CPU for A*k rarely goes above 2% as I can tell.
Its IP only, no E1/T1 cards present.


However, I get complaints of bad voice quality, especially on IAX2
calls, silences etc.

Can you verify those complaints?

What codec do you use? I hope that ulaw/alaw and not some compressed
codec.


I'm wondering whether or not the machine needs a faster CPU, something

like a Duo, as I can't find any faults anywhere else that might cause
these blips.

But the 2% CPU usage seems to suggest it shouldn't.

try running asterisk with the option -p



That might be a bit memory light I'd put 1Gb in that box.
Take a look at vmstat and see if it is swapping.
