Hey Duane: " After listening to some VSPs go on endlessly about how badly asterisk/IAX scales (and dealing with similar issues myself) I try to avoid asterisk and IAX for anything other then toy boxes at home, anyone serious really needs to look at the benefits of other options ;) "
Let em go on endlessly as they please! How did you try to scale with Asterisk and IAX? Maybe we can assist and share notes for your benefit. - We have over 20 IAX hard phones on an IAX connection to our production Asterisk at a data centre. - We have an associate who actively handles over 50 simultaneous IAX calls at any given time. - We know of a company in the US first hand, who actively handles over 1,000,000 in IAX minutes per month. - A local provider who we all know in the TAUG group actively serves its clients and connects their Asterisk server via IAX to other Asterisk servers. - We have been interconnecting with other IAX providers for over 2 years now. - We serve a dozen other business clients via IAX to their Asterisk at their office. So far as per our experience and exposure IAX (Inter Asterisk Exchange protocol) developed by Digium and volunteers -- works pretty well with our deployment and other deployments we know of first hand, pretty darn good! Yes, IAX has its disadvantages, but so does SIP. Trick is to make use of both SIP and IAX to your advantage. Anyone serious, also needs to keep an open mind and not listen to other VSP's rants ;).
