asterisk users - Aug 2006 - Is the manager good for high traffic?? but only with one connection to it

Hi,

I've read all over that the manager conection  (via sockets)  isn't good
for high traffic applications with multiple manager connections at the 
same time with one asterisk,  the connection hangs and many other problems.

having said that, my question is:

Has anyone worked on a fairly high traffic environment BUT  with ONLY 
ONE connection to administer asterisk via the manager,  that is to do 
Login/Logout call generation, etc??    that is sending commands and 
receiving many events per minute or even per second.
I'm talking about 60 lines / 2 E1 with working full at some peak times,  
with 30 agents on SIP.

is it stable enough?    what other way should I go if not.


I appreaciate any point of view,  or past experiences....  anything


thanx

astGUIclient-VICIDIAL handles volumes like that over a few manager
connections. We have done that for 3 years across multiple versions of
Asterisk and it is very stable.

The way we designed it, we have a listening daemon, a sending daemon
and a status daemon. The sending script spawns children that run new
actions and then die off.  The listen script has an open manager
connection but only listens for events and updates database from those
events. The status update script keeps tabs on the status of channels
in the system through it's "command" manager connection so it only
receives responses to it's own commands, not all output.

The manager is much more stable than it was 3 years ago, although it
does still have it's rare bugs it works very well.
