Hello,

 

Is it possible to run Asterisk in a cluster?

OpenMosix or other cluster software.

 

Thanks

Hello,

    I'm going to need to take up to 10,000 simultaneous calls on a 
single number.  I'm going to need lots of * boxes to do it. 

    How many * boxes will I need, and how do I load balance the calls 
between them?

        Matt.

Hello,

OK some more information.

We've got a client who takes very large call spike when tickets go on 
sale.  We're specing to handle 10,000 simultaneous calls.  We're hoping 
to use our VOIP provider to handle incoming calls from landlines, and to 
route the calls out to our client's call centre.  Our * boxes sit in the 
middle, coloed with the VOIP provider.

We can use SIP or IAX with the provider.  It's been suggested that SIP 
is the better choice, as it should allow the provider to route call 
streams directly through to the call centre once they've been through 
our system (more details of what we're doing at http://www.orderlyq.com).

Someone has suggested SER as a good way of doing the load balancing ( 
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=SIP+Express+Router ), but I 
haven't used it before - anybody know how to get it to load balance?

Also, if we got 20,000 calls instead of the anticipated 10,000 calls, 
how would we drop the extra 10,000?  We don't want to use up more of our 
provider's lines than we can handle calls. 

Please feel free to respond privately if you like.

Many thanks,

    Matt.
