http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/071707-open-source-voip.html http://www.digium.com/en/company/casestudies/viewcasestudies/University-of-Pennsylvania Those links gets passed around every time this topic comes up. I don't know what metrics led to the conclusion of the project manager, nor the way things were configured in your particular pilot. Asterisk-1.6 has dramatically enhanced SIP handling compared to 1.4. It also has dramatically faster large-dialplan handling. You can read all about it in the files that come packaged with 1.6. It's possible (I would dare say likely) that the project manager is looking at old data, or that the pilot was done with old versions of asterisk. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
