can someone overthere help? the server specs are as follows HP DL380G4 Dual Intel Xeon 3.2GHz processor with 4GB RAM, running fedora core 3 asterisk-1.2.5 ss7-0.8.3d. using sip as advised to receive calls from another gateway in US. using g729 in transcoding way. however, I noticed the call hit the 51 active calls which is 102channels, I run "top" to check the system resources usage and i discovered that the cpu is 100% used. asterisk, sip, ss7 never crashed throughout. however, since transcoding takes alot of system resources.. how can I use g729 in passthru mode. and I guess disabling hyperthreading will save me more system resouces. I will be glad, if you can give me more info on system management cos i think with that system, it should able to handle at least five E1's. I say thank you for finding time to reply my mail. goksie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What process is taking up 100% CPU? Is it Asterisk processes or something else? Also, is the load spread out over multiple processes, or do you have one or two processes taking up 90% or more of your total? You also have dual CPUs (and hyperthreading, which to FC3 should look like 4 CPUs if I'm not mistaken) - is the 100% CPU usage across all two (or four) processors, or is it only CPU1 that peaks at 100%? Have a look at "Last Used CPU" in top. What load are the other CPUs at? I don't have personal experience running that large of an installation, but I imagine your system specs would allow you to handle more simultaneous calls than 50, even though you're doing some transcoding.

G729 is your problem.

[Asterisk-Users] I guess my server capacity is ok
