[asterisk-users] Max SIP Registrations with and without Realtime
I have a decent sized asterisk 1.4 installation of about 5000 registered users spread across various servers. I have noticed that when keeping the SIP users in the Realtime database, the Asterisk servers become completely unstable at around 600 - 800 users. MySQL is running on a different set of servers, but the bottleneck is definately the number of registered users. We can buy some room by increasing the re-registration time on the sip phones, but not much. If I put all the users in sip.conf instead of in the Realtime database, the situation improves considerably. We leave the dialplan in realtime, but put the users in sip.conf. This seems to eliminate most of the problems. Obviously, we can look at putting something in front of Asterisk to manage the registration traffic, but why is Asterisk having such a problem with this? Does anyone else have more than 600 users registering directly with Asterisk using Realtime? /sorry about the dupe message.
