Have you looked into Metaswitch?

I'd actually like to reintroduce my question.  I'll start with some
background:

Beanfield Metroconnect is a dark-fibre, lan-ex, and Internet provider for
office buildings in the downtown core.  We have an extensive 10gig backbone,
two large pops and datacenters in Toronto, and one in NY NY.  We own the
fibre end to end in our core, and we offer business services exclusively.

We are just branching into voice services, and our initial setup is the
following: we're fully redundant with each site having Sylantro for
switching, Convedia media mixers, AS5400-t3 links to Bell, Bell Megalink
circuits for wholesale long distance, top end BSCs, and currently Iperia for
vmail (though I'd like to build my own solution for that).

I'd like to offer conferencing services, but we can't do anything completely
amateur hour.  I've heard of someone using four dual core Xeon to process
180 channels, and I had a nice little chuckle ;^)

In thinking back over the problem, I guess I have to look at the actual DSP
cards, Sharks, TI's, and see what I like, but does anyone have any
experience with any open source software using DSP offload cards?  At this
juncture I'm more worried about H/W support than features.  I'll probably be
looking at a 16 or 32 core DSP card, but as I said, I've got to do some
shopping.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] Conference bridge

Rachel,

In my opinion freeswitch has the best base conference bride features, no
dependency on hardware or the ztdummy timer and loads more features. For a
comparison of the FS & Asterisk features here is link to a comparison
http://www.freeswitch.org/node/100

Also here is a small article (
http://www.junctionnetworks.com/blog/charlotte/2008/05/21/freeswitch-asteris
k-replacement ) and their rational of picking FS over Asterisk for their
conference bridge product.
Hope this helps,

Mike
