Re: [Freeswitch-users] OPenser <-> FS Do I need this?
If you're telling me that FS can handle the figures quoted, that's plenty enough for me. I have 5,000 lines PSTN /channels, possibly double that shortly. I need to fill all of them as quickly as possible and maintain that level for a given period of time. So I guess I'm in the upper medium end of the scale.

Re: [Freeswitch-users] OPenser <-> FS Do I need this?
Well Openser has better NAT handling than Asterisk for a start. In addition it takes the load off of Asterisk with regards to registrations. Further, I'm able to have multiple asterisk servers fronted by Openser Finally, I've numerous posts that * chokes with sip clients > 200. I couldn't afford to take the risk. But the biggest issue is with load spikes and asterisk. I've never gotten to the bottom of it, and believe me a lot of people far smarter then me have tried to figure it out. So... The more I can keep asterisk out of the mundane stuff the better. It's been said to me many times, that the way Asterisk is put together is fundamentally flawed and this really shows it's self under load. Not knocking Asterisk, it's served me well for the last 4 years. Heck I've got a book being published on it in a couple of months, but for me, I need a scalable solution, hence my interest in FS. I also don't see * going beyond 1.4. 1.6 as far as I can tell has a very low take-up rate, why ? well because they've changed how everything works to the extent that hardly anything written for 1.4 can port to 1.6. The syntax changes don't appear to serve any real purpose. So to get back to my original question, if FS can handle a significantly higher number of call setups, then perhaps I don't need OpenSer, that was the thrust of my post.

Newbie with FS, currently have Asterisk servers front ended by Openser Question: I have around 400 sip remote clients, if I were to deploy FS, do I need Openser? Is there any advantage in retaining Openser?
