Here is the setup: Phone A (in NYC) on own bandwidth. Phone B (in LA) on own bandwidth. Asterisk box in Houston,TX on own bandwidth.
Both phones contact asterisk to register. Not much bandwidth used for this as it is a few packets every hour or so. Phone A calls Phone B. Phone A sends a call request to asterisk and asterisk calls phone B. Both phones are connected and both people are talking. Is all of the data/voice comming from phone A going into asterisk box and then from asterisk box to phone B? If so, then using g711, phone A would send/recieve 64Kbps to/from asterisk and phone B would also send/recieve 64Kbps to/from asterisk. Asterisk would then be sending/recieving 128Kbps for this one call right? So with 1 T1 you could only get 12 calls going right? If I use canreinvite=yes on both phones, will phone A connect to phone B directly therefore lowering the bandwidth usage in/out of the asterisk box right? If so, what is the "signalling" bandwidth usage in/out of asterisk in this case? Even if the phones are connected directly to eachother, they still have to pass some data to asterisk so asterisk still knows that the call is up and has to know when the call goes away. We need to know this bandwidth usage on a T1 because lets say it was 10Kbps, you could actually do a bunch of calls on 1 T1 provided that all phones use canreinvite right?
