M. Loiselle:
Bonjour!
We are a small VSP in Vancouver specialising in business VoIP services
(only -- no residential/no wholesale) hosted on Asterisk with all the
features normally associated with a customer-owned PBX.
Most of our customers are outside the VoIP world and therefore not
likely to read your post. With Telus (the ILEC for British Columbia and
Alberta) in a lock-out, VoIP providers are the only hope for many SMBs
moving into new premises.
When you say "sufficient capacity" what, exactly, do you mean? We
monitor our B channel utilisation and add PRIs whenever we see peak
usage above 90% (note -- peak, not average). We aim for less than 0.1%
blocking factor and have not yet come close.

Unfortunately there were no good tools in Asterisk at the time we started delivering services and since B channel usage is the most important single metric for capacity planning, we had to devise something to keep close tabs on this. -- George Pajari, netVOICE communications 604 484 VOIP (484 8647 x102) Open Source VoIP/Telephony Specialists 1 877 NET VOIP (638 8647 x102) www.netvoice.ca www.ip-centrex.ca www.digium.ca www.grandstream.ca www.sipura.ca www.snom.ca
