Re: [Asterisk-Users] update - 512 Simultaneous Calls with Digital Recording

2006-04-17 Thread Henri Herscher
Hi Waldo, The best I've seen so far is about 100 concurrent calls on a single Xeon 2.4Ghz. The CPU was 100% but this does not mean anything since this is due to GSM encoding which happens sequentially and always leaves capture work in priority. I'm sure it can do more than that, it's just not

Another solution would be to use a dedicated recording server sniffing RTP and signalling packets in the media path using software such as http://www.oreka.org. Oreka automatically mixes both legs of an RTP conversation to disk and GSM encodes the result in a separate thread so that capture always

Hey Henri, Long time no talk. How far have you been able to scale oreka up to? How many simultaneous calls have you been able to record and under what hardware config? Thanks, Waldo On Apr 12, 2006, at 11:12 AM, Henri Herscher wrote: Another solution would be to use a dedicated

The last point also brings up a question. Does anyone know how gracefully Asterisk handles attempting to write leg files to a full disk? We've had this happen twice and if it is a regular-path partition it seems to have handled the overlap in either RAM or on the root partition. Not sure

That is what we do actually. One drive for Linux/Asterisk and a SCSI RAID for /var/spool/asterisk/monitor I'm really surprised (and impressed) that this is working for you, Matt. What are the specs of the RAID array (filesystem, drive speeds, RAID level, etc.)? We use LSILogic MegaRAID

Hi All, In previous mail lists, people talked about a solution to record large amount of simultaneous calls. And then it seems that RAM disk solution was the best choice due to the I/O bottleneck of Hard disk (System). Please find the previous discussion as follows:

Hello, What happens a few weeks into this when you've fragmented the free space on the drives by deleting files periodically and rewriting in some places? The consistent performance of SATA drives goes down dramatically when this happens, much more so than on a SCSI-based drive system. Also, you
