Hi, I am really interested in the true capacity that Asterisk can handle. What is the maximum number of users that can be handled by Asterisk on a standard 2.4G P4 IBM server or similar? Anyone has a clue? Cheer, Vincent _________________________________________________________________ ninemsn Premium transforms your e-mail with colours, photos and animated text.

Anyone has a clue? >This type of question is often asked and there is no answer.. Every server is configured differently, in that it may use only analog channels, it may use only VoIP channels or it may be a combination.. then there are the choices of cedecs, some will use a lot of processing power and little bandwidth and others will use far less processing power and more bandwidth.. Finally you have to look at the call volume.. If you have 10 000 people who make a total of 100 calls per day between them then a relatively small server will be fine.. If you have 1000 people who spend all day on the phone then you may have to look at some fairly powerful hardware.. So unfortunately this is not a question that is easily answered.. A while back someone was putting together a list of configurations that people were using and was going to publish it but it never got published I'm afraid.. Later..
Hi all, I would like to know the real scalability of Asterisk. Does anyone have any real numbers? What is the largest deployment of Asterisk?

There are carriers using Asterisk to terminate thousands of lines. NuFone has a data center with 80 Asterisk servers in place. These installations require a bit more engineering than the typical PBX server, but the system does scale to extremely large systems.
