Hi, Does anyone know what is the amount of max concurrent calls that can be made in one Asterisk box? I heard that it is 256 and it doesn't depend on how good your machine is. It is the program constraint. What can I do when I need to have more calls than that. I read about connecting Asterisk boxes with IAX. Is it a good solution? Does anyone have other proposals?

There is no such thing as a hard limit in asterisk. (Except for zap channels, those are limited to 256 iirc). With iax you can go higher, but the limit might be lower than 256 if you are doing a lot of transcoding. The limit depends on what exactly the server has to do with your call, and how fast your server is.

It is the program constraint.I wasn't aware of such limit and I seriously doubt it. Where are you pulling this number from? (other than the obvious "traditional" 2^8)? -- Jean-Michel Hiver - http://ykoz.net/ D?couvrez la R?union des Technologies IP & Telecom TEL: +262 (0)262 55 03 98 - RCS 434 273 330 SAINT PIERRE
Hi, Yeah, I think it was all about thew zap channels But what opportunities I have when I need to connect two or more Asterisk boxes. IAX, SIP or what? What is most efficient.
